Scenes and reasons that teachers felt the effects
No matter how different two cultures are. With respect, hard work andwillingness to participate in a project to improve conditions of all humanbeings, very satisfactory results can be achieved.
Painting a mural has encouraged them to research about the topic asthey knew that everything learnt had to be shown to the world throughtheir painting
Although the students have learned a lot of positive things about theSDGs with this project, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Governments should take action.
A very enriching experience indeed. It is a way of realising that the issues
which affect us are a concern to people all over the world.
The universal language of art has been a key tool to send a message tothe world, a message previously worked on through different subjects andusing English as a vehicular language.
