She's a lifelong #educator, and now also a  #globaleducator on the Teach Sustainable Development Goals. Her teaching world changed after discovering the  #SDGs while teaching in a school in Melbourne. From there everything became about #globaleducation. We talk about;the origins and importance of the #SDGs which follow on from the @#Millenniumgoalsthe 17 amazing goals that make up the #unitednations #SDGs - covering #education #lifeunderwater #lifeonlandthe #2030 target date and what the objectives area wonderful campaign at the moment called the www.worldstodolist.org who are asking everyone in small steps or large steps to take them on board to work towards making a better planet, a better and more #sustainableenvironment for everyone, a more equitable worldwhy it's important whether you are an individual, a #school, a #notforprofit, a #smallbusiness, a large corporation to take these on in some small way, and to work togetherhow surprisingly everyone is often already doing something already - they just didn't have it mapped already to a goalhow it all started for Annie by resigning from her teaching job, which she really loved, to launch @FOTG in 2019 to deliver greater #globalimpactbecoming a Teach Sustainable Development Goals Ambassador and promote the global goals wherever she wentthe up's and down's of starting your own business - the leap of faith, when the easy option would have been to stay teaching where she was very happy and just roll in, roll outextending into educating businesses, #NFPs, #NGOs and government organizations about the #SDGswhy young students are the futurewhat makes up contemporary education  - #designthinking, and 21st-century skills of #problemsolving, and #innovation, and #questioning and #reasoning - that's how they're learning at the moment. So they are willing to step up and have a go and try different things, and it's completely different style of educationhow the world of #sustainability and #climatechange and #climateaction is really becoming at the forefront of people's mindswhy people need to work out what they can do to help make our planet a better place for everyoneSDGs' Sustainable Development goals in #smallbusinesshow #businessowners can become a part of this more easily - starting with something they think is interesting and resonatesthe wwwglobalgoals.org  website and the many ideas and resources out there for businesses, for schools, for corporationsthe "start small and build on" approach to avoid being overwhelmedthe major projects Annie is involved with at wwwtake3.org where she is designing and facilitating aa young leaders programs and #ProjectBlue involving a couple of hundred students (10 to 12-year-olds)  on what makes a leader all through the lens of #plasticpollution and #oceanconservation. The students were all engaged to do waste audit and to complete a 14-day challenge that aimed to change their behavior in some way, and then taking it further, by telling people, 3 people,  what you're doing so then they would tell 3 people - the ripple effecthow #covid has told us or taught us is that the world is just truly connected - what happens on one side of the world affects the other side of the world, and we're foolish. If we think we're sitting in our own little silo, and it doesn't affect us, and it does. So we do need to work together to see if we can get these goals achieved by 2030www.footprintsontheglobe.com.auwww.kerrcapital.com.au

Dr. Jennifer Williams is a member of the United Nations’ Global Goals Educator Task Force, #TeachSDGs. Our students today need to be engaged in authentic experiences that connect them to real people and real problems of our world. Through the sharing of stories and with unified efforts to tackle global issues, students can begin to discover the power they each have in making a difference at local and global levels. The Climate Action Project, connecting students from 64 countries and 250 schools, provides a unique opportunity for classrooms to take ACTION on climate change and to find their role in the United Nations’ Agenda for Sustainable Development. Climate change is an ideal topic for concentration as this issue is not one that sees borders of countries or is focused on any one geographic location---this is a problem for all---which means every single person can be part of a solution. Together as teachers, through experiences such as The Climate Action Project, we can #TeachSDGs and mobilize as world educators to reach the global goals by 2030.
