Global Challenges Local Solutions

How do we talk about sustainable development with young people in an engaging way?

Within the 8th round of the GCLS programme, Viduslatgales pārnovadu fonds created an educational card game dedicated to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The game was originally developed in Latvian — and we’re happy to share that the Academy translated it into English, making it accessible to a wider, international audience 🌱

The cards encourage discussion, critical thinking and reflection on global challenges, while giving educators plenty of freedom to adapt the game to different subjects and age groups.

Feel free to use it, share it and get inspired!

✨🎄 May your Christmas be a time of calm, warmth, and joyful moments shared with those closest to your heart ❤.
May the New Year 🎇 open doors to peace, success, and inspiring opportunities, especially those that help build a more sustainable and inclusive future.
