Through Crossing Borders’ many partnerships and projects, we are sometimes fortunate to be able to offer workshops for free.
Our current offers are listed below:
Workshop on student councils as agents of change
This workshop is targeted at student councils and will strengthen their engagement and commitment to create change, both at their school and in a larger global context.
With themes like active citizenship and the SDGs, we will guide the students in reflecting on what they want to change at their school and how. Through different exercises their reflections will be linked to global change and help student councils understand that even small changes can make a big difference. We will, together with the students, develop a plan for their own concrete solution with engagement from the rest of the school. Our hope with this workshop is to strengthen the youth’s hope for the future and to make the SDGs more tangible.
