SDG Teach In
Have You Pledged To Include SDGs In Your Teaching?
The SDG Teach In is coming up fast! In 2024 Exeter came 6th in the SDG League Table of how many educators pledged to participate in March. We were TOP in the number of students reached by a university – and with more educational institutions taking part we need everyone to pledge to keep our place. Run by SOS (Students Organising for Sustainability) the Teach In puts the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), at the heart of education and training, across all disciplines. Competition aside (!) learning about the SDGs helps prepare students for the challenges of a modern world. You can pledge to take part via the SDG Teach In Pledge Form More information and ideas can be found on our SharePoint site. Have an event which includes the SDGs between 1 – 31 March? We can promote it here Email details to: sustainability@exeter.ac.uk
