Teachers: Will make a pre-selection of maximum 6 issues they would like to work on with their students in the next research and action stages. Please contribute until 1st February by 17:00 so I can organise the tricider for the international teaming-up.

Pre-selection of the problems that our students will be collaboratively working on in the next stage.

​

​

​

Choose max. 6 problems your students have identified

during the debate.

Insert each idea in the slide dedicated to the SDG it relates to.

Please identify your school so I make sure I will include ideas from all the schools who have contributed, in the last selection for the team-up.

​

Important note

The problems pre-selected should be:

• actually present in our communities/ countries,
• clearly phrased to be understood and issues our students can/ will enjoy to work on and address in collaboration with their project partners.

If you see the problem is already identified by another school, you can choose another.

I would appreciate if you can contribute to this pre-selection until no later than 1st Feb. So I can organise the Tricision for our students to team-up according to the problem they will choose.
