I enjoyed learning about the sustainable courses and projects that Victoria University has. They have a strong desire to not only implement learning about sustainability to their curriculums but they strive for the action to make it applicable to their students’ future lives outside of school.
I really enjoyed the seminar at the end, it was very interactive and I got to hear different stand points on the SDGs and sustainability perspectives. The activity with the SDGs was fun!
My group and I got goals 4) quality education 11) sustainable communities & cities and SDG 14) life below water. Each of these goals can be the base for a stronger outcome in the other goals. I liked that we got to think critically about the goals and how they can intertwine with one another.
One stand point we saw was starting with a quality education because it could lead to creating a more sustainable community with the knowledge we learn to then caring enough about our oceans to sustain them too.
Starting from a basis of a sustainable community, meaning a richer community (richer in an economic sense, financially or health) can lead to a higher quality of learning because of all the extra resources and tools that could be funded to schools. With those tools from the community to support schools can lead to learning how to care for our oceans properly.
If life below water was the base to making education and cities more sustainable it would be that life below water would have to be clean, no pollution, no contaminated fish so that our health in a community is sustained, and if our community is healthy we could support public places like schools.
I think today has been my second favorite learning day 🙂
