Global Collaboration

Q3. Speaking Out About Global Issues: Introduction

20. Global Collaborator


Introduction

In previous Quests, you learned why global collaboration is important and had a chance to build your communication and cultural skills. Now, we’re going to explore some global issues that students and adults can work on together.

Global citizens can help solve these issues in many ways, like raising awareness, coming up with new ideas, or improving how things are done. Global collaborators work with others—including experts—to make the world a better place.

In this Quest, you will explore one of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals—important goals created to improve life for people all over the world. After researching your chosen goal, you’ll practice your speaking skills by creating a short video. Your teacher will guide you in using a video recording tool to share your message. Other students can review your video, and it may even be shared with classrooms in your school or around the world. By the end of this Quest, you'll be part of a campaign to raise awareness!
