About the Webinar
To celebrate Global Goals Week, this webinar will showcase how Newstead Wood School has embedded Global Social Leaders into their curriculum, giving every student the opportunity to explore the UN Sustainable Development Goals and take action on issues they care about.
Natalie Cameron and students from Newstead Wood will share how students connect global challenges with issues in their own communities, choose the Goals they want to support and turn their ideas into meaningful social action projects.
They will also explain how the programme culminates in the school’s annual GSL Expo, where students present their projects, share what they have learned and celebrate the impact they are making.
The session will offer practical insights into how schools can integrate the Global Goals and high-quality social action into the curriculum while supporting large numbers of students to lead projects. It will explore how this approach develops confidence, creativity, collaboration and students’ belief in their ability to contribute to a fairer, healthier and more sustainable world.
