GSL GLOBAL GOALS

STUDENT COMPETITION
2018-2019

We are excited to invite schools to participate in the Global Social Leaders (GSL) Student Competition focused on the United Nations’ Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

The aim of the competition is to develop students’ understanding of global citizenship and how to turn their ideas into reality. We support young people to develop and implement a project that helps to achieve the United Nations’ Global Goals and join a global movement of socially conscious leaders.

The competition is free to enter, but requires schools to appoint a member of staff who will coordinate the competition within your school and act as our main point of contact.  We require schools to register before starting projects and for teams to submit projects for feedback before implementing them. We want to ensure all projects are high quality and are fully supported by their school.

OVERVIEW

We are inviting schools to identify a teacher who will coordinate the competition internally.  We then ask students to register their teams. 

Once you have a school coordinator, we ask that each school registers.  Registered schools will receive an information pack with further detail on the competition. Lead teachers should therefore register to confirm your participation in the competition. During registration you can also ask any questions you have about the competition.

Following this, we ask that each team at the school registers their project. This is so that the students take ownership of their own progress. If you are a student who wishes to register a team, please make sure that your school has been registered. If it is not in the list, please provide a valid email address for a teacher at your school.
