Resource Details
Description
This resource covers a lot of information in a readable and youth friendly way. At the beginning of the document major ‘jargon’ terms. Then it is straight into covering the sustainable development goals- their history, what they are and how they impact young people. Next there is a discussion on the task team, and why young people’s voices are so important to be included in the post 2015 agenda. There are some case studies, then there is a section on creating your own advocacy plan which comes with worksheets and guides. Overall this resource covers a lot of material in a short space of time, and is youth friendly in its layout. It would be very useful for any group of young people who want to engage in global issues.
