Lesson 4: Education for Intercultural Dialogue and Sustainable Development

Examples - Case study 1

End extreme poverty. Fight inequality and injustice. Fix climate change. The Sustainable Development Goals are important, world-changing objectives that will require cooperation among governments, international organizations and world leaders. It seems impossible that the average person can make an impact. Should you just give up?

No! Change starts with you. Seriously. Every human on earth is part of the solution.

This is the moto of The Lazy Person’s Guide to Saving the World through which people at all ages can be educated on what simple actions they can take to accomplish the change in the world.

The Actions suggested in this Guide are categorized in 4 levels:

1. Things you can do from your couch

2. Things you can do at home

3. Things you can do outside your house

4. Things you can do at work

After reviewing all the suggested actions, take notes about what you ALREADY do in each level, what you can do FROM NOW ON, and what you can do in GROUPS. How will you communicate these actions to get organized?
