Date: 18/09/2022

Through the summer program of the Center for Sustainable Development and its partners at Mission 4.7, ArcGIS StoryMaps, Arizona State University, Bluebells School International, ESRI, SDGs Today & Worldwide Teach-In, the Eco Ambassador Program students developed StoryMaps to tell local environment and sustainability stories while applying mapping, data and communication skills. The program featured climate storytelling skills, GIS mapping and data skills with access to educational tools such as Turn it Around Cards and examples of how SDGs can be a concrete part of teaching and learning contents including lesson planning. 

This ICSD side event will showcase the highlights of the summer program to share some of the core educational elements of the climate and sustainability storytelling with the use of StoryMaps, creative writing skills, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-based lesson planning and educational tools that facilitate telling a compelling climate and sustainability story from diverse local perspectives, and all speaking to sustainable development & SDGs.
