SDG Corners!"My Goal, My Wall"

---

Makes abstract SDGs concrete and understandable.

Promotes student ownership — they choose what they’re passionate about.

Fosters real-world learning and action in the school.

Supports cross-curricular learning (science, art, social studies, language, etc.).

Builds a school-wide SDG culture of awareness and change-making.

How to Implement SDG Corners/Walls in Your School

1. 🧱 Set Up the Corners or Wall Spaces

Choose 17 different spaces (or fewer if limited) around your school — corridors, classrooms, walls, or even display boards.

Label each space clearly with:

SDG number

Name of the goal (e.g., “SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation”)

A visual icon or poster (download free SDG icons from UN site)

A small explanation in child-friendly language

2. Let Children Choose Their SDG

Brief students about each SDG in assembly or class.

Give a simple interest form: “Which SDG are you most interested in working on?”

Let them join groups based on their interests — maybe 2–6 children per goal.

3. Activity-Based Participation

Each SDG group will:

Research what their SDG means.

Relate it to local problems and their own life.

Create charts, models, stories, poems, paintings, slogans, etc. for their wall.

Suggest small actions students can do for that SDG.

Example for SDG 13 (Climate Action):

Posters on global warming

Thermometer showing school temperature awareness

Tree-planting drive photos

"Tips to save energy" written by students

4. ️ Student-Led Projects or Campaigns

Encourage children to:

Run school-level awareness drives.

Start recycling or hygiene projects (for SDG 3, SDG 12).

Organize SDG days where each group presents what they’ve done.

5. Rotation & Reflection

After 2–3 months, allow students to switch SDG groups if they want.

Let each group present progress in morning assembly or on SDG week.

Celebrate student actions — display badges, certificates, or a “SDG Hero of the Month”.

This is a truly inspiring and practical model for embedding SDGs into everyday school life! "My Goal, My Wall" turns abstract global goals into meaningful, student-led actions. I especially appreciate how it fosters ownership, creativity, and real-world connections. It’s more than a display—it’s a living lab where values, collaboration, and learning come together. I would love to implement this in my school to cultivate a culture of responsibility, awareness, and positive change. A brilliant step toward shaping future-ready global citizens!

@Mariya-Rajpar creative and interactive space in every classroom, school corridor, or community center where individuals choose one SDG they are passionate about — their personal goal — and express it on a shared wall through art, writing, photos, or mini-projects.

What a beautiful and empowering concept creating a creative and interactive space where students and community members can express their passion for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their own unique way.

Designating a corner in every classroom, school corridor, or community center for this purpose not only nurtures creativity but also builds a sense of ownership, responsibility, and global awareness. When individuals choose their personal SDG and represent it through art, writing, photography, or mini-projects, learning becomes deeply personal and meaningful.

This kind of space becomes more than just a display it becomes a living wall of hope, action, and collaboration. It encourages dialogue, reflection, and even inspires others to explore new ideas or support similar causes.

Such initiatives turn our learning environments into centers of change, where every voice matters and every contribution, no matter how small, becomes a step toward a better world.

Truly inspiring — this is what 21st-century learning should look like!
