About

The SDG Teach In is a campaign to put the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and therefore sustainability, at the heart of all stages of education, and across all disciplines. This annual campaign calls upon educators to include the SDGS within their teaching, learning and assessment during the campaign (and beyond!).

The 2023 campaign ran from March 1st - March 31st 2023 and was our most successful Teach In yet! Check out our achievements section for more information, or watch our reflective webinar.

Aims of the Teach In

The Teach In aims to:

  • Raise awareness of the importance of sustainable development
  • Catalyse curriculum reform and test new ideas
  • Embed sustainability and social responsibility across all learning
  • Link teaching, learning, and assessment to local and global concerns
  • Prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and attributes to tackle the world's greatest challenges

Achievements

In March 2023, over 1284 educators pledged to include the SDGs into their education, across 23 countries globally, reaching over 121,000 students across 128 institutions, making a massive impact! Watch our reflective webinar to learn more about our 2023 campaign.
