MDG 15 - Making a Positive Contribution
Overview
of the Project
MDG 15 is a collaboration between seven partner
countries aiming to raise secondary schools’
awareness about the Millennium Development Goals.
The project, led by Le Partenariat ( Lille ) with
Leeds DEC and Studio Globo ( Belgium ) also involves
NGOs in India , Czech , Poland & Senegal. By
offering more and better information and training
to secondary students and their teachers the project
seeks to make a contribution to the achievement
of the MDGs.
Description
of the Project
Various activities are organised for and by students
and teachers, with the MDGs as central theme. LDEC
has organised an International MDGs Seminar in Ghent
for participating schools from all countries, designed
and delivered a series of MDG workshops in schools,
and participated in an International MDG conference
in Slovakia . The project also proposed and helped
organise a YHGSA Regional conference focusing on
the goals, a seminar for teachers and several other
events. Over the next year we will continue to publicise
the goals, deliver workshops (particularly to 6th
Forms), organise a study tour for teachers to Senegal
and support young people in taking action in support
of the goals.
