IMAGINE A BETTER WORLD
Can you imagine a sustainable world where everyone respects nature?
A world where everyone has access to healthy eating?
And where everyone is supportive, helpful and respectful of others?
We know this world exists - but it's only possible if we build it together!
Please join us in our new campaign where language learning meets global competence with one of our Young Learners´ product Imagine and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
I want to join!
About the Campaign
Imagine a Better World helps encouraging young learners of English to develop the language skills they need to become citizens of the world. All of the projects were carefully crafted to truly engage students in real world situations and encourage them to think critically about the steps needed to take action in their communities. In each lesson, you'll find opportunities for students to activate their background knowledge, connect with new ideas, ask questions, deepen their knowledge about different concepts, and learn foundational life skills such as planning, collaborating, empathizing, among others. Each project is grounded in one of the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals.
For Imagine Starter, students will investigate Good Health and Well-Being through an investigation about healthy eating habits. In Imagine 3, students will investigate the question “Is our school community consuming resources in sustainable ways?”, tackling the Responsible Consumption and Production goal. For older students, in Imagine 5, students will discover more about Sustainable Cities and Communities and investigate sustainable and effective ways to commute to school.
We hope your students will develop life skills throughout the cycles of these projects that can empower them to go beyond and transform their realities. Enjoy!
Special Workshop
for Teachers
All schools participating in the Imagine a Better World campaign are invited to the PBL 101 Workshop, that will be delivered by Ingrid Puche. The workshop will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge on how to navigate materials and projects to enrich your students’ investigations through the different possibilities the lessons offer. Throughout the workshop, teachers will develop a toolkit for creating authentic, inquiry-based and student-led projects. You'll explore how to launch a project, plan it while balancing curriculum goals and students' interest, get students thinking and asking questions, assess students' growth and make their learning tangible.
