The SDG Teach In is an annual campaign to embed the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and therefore sustainability, at the heart of all levels of education, and across all disciplines. This annual campaign calls upon educators around the world to include the SDGs and other related topics within their teaching, learning and assessment (and beyond!).

The SDG Teach In will return in March 2026.

The Teach In 2025 lasted from 1 March to 31 March 2025. Read the 2025 Campaign Report and watch the recording of our reflection webinar to hear from guest speakers about how they took part.

Who can take part in the Teach In? Each year, the Teach In is open to all types of formal and informal training providers, educators and workplace learning providers. We believe in lifelong learning and that anyone in any context can be a student of the SDG Teach In.

How was the campaign structured this year? Each week in March 2025 focused on a key theme, starting with environmental sustainability, then social, and economic pillars of sustainability, and care, collaboration, and creativity in the final week. These themes were a guide and educators are welcome to blur the boundaries between the pillars throughout the campaign. We also strongly encourage educators to supplement the SDGs by bringing in other overlooked areas of sustainability.

The Teach In aims to:

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

The 2025 SDG Teach In campaign ran from 1 March to 31 March 2025.

We were overjoyed that 1028 educators pledged to include one or several of SDGs into their practice, spanning 17 countries, reaching over 118,000 students across 94 institutions, contributing to a massive impact!
