Amazing Projects
Look no further for inspiration. Here are just a few outstanding projects from our Roots & Shoots groups.
Global Goals
Governments have a plan to save our planet…it’s our job to make sure they stick to it. The UN’s Global Goals aim to achieve three main things in the next 15 years. End extreme poverty. Fight inequality and injustice. Fix climate change. To realise these Goals everyone, regardless of their age, needs to take part.
Simple Steps Toward The Global Goals
Not ready for a change project with your group or class. Through Roots & Shoots you can take simple steps but make collective impacts and action towards the Global Goals.
Discuss with your class the ways in which they, their families and communities can make simple changes, but steps towards the Global Goals.
