PLAE Project
Nowadays it is of high importance for all educational organisations to recognize the value of providing students courses that cover sustainability education. This is an opportunity to give the next generation all the skills and knowledge necessary to handle the social and environmental changes and challenges that will occur in the near future. Students need to gain an understanding of the dependence between humans and the environment where they live.
In 2015, after consulting millions of people and organisations across the world, the final decision about what the goals would be was made by the governments of the United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goals are a set of global priorities for ensuring that economic, environmental, social and cultural wellbeing is achieved for everyone around the world. They are ambitious goals for governments across the world to achieve, but a lot can be done at school and at home to support them. The goals aim to end poverty, protect the planet & try to make sure that everyone around the world is living comfortably.
