NUML SDG SCOUTS | Group 2 | SDGs 6-10 visit to modern school system ATD KPK

The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provide a common blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future. These SDGs are also called “Agenda 2030”. We are the 'SDG SCOUTS' of the Department of Governance and Public Policy, National University of Modern Languages Islamabad, working on the SDGs under the guidance of Assistant Professor Dr. Athar Rashid. We are a group of seven of his students (Usama Majeed, Usama Hakim, Nouman Khan, Luqman Haider, Umer Farooq, Soban Alam, Iftikhar Ahmad) and our main focus is on his SDGs 6 to 10 and clean cooking fuels and plastic waste management . Our goal is to inform, educate and train people about these SDGs and clean cooking fuels and plastic waste management their importance for our daily lives and for future generations. We believe it is everyone's responsibility to do their part to help achieve these sustainability goals in order to save this world

 

To raise awareness of the SDGs, we decided to visit institutions out of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, organize webinars, and visit slum areas. We visited Modern school system ABBATTABAD to conduct an awareness session on SDGs and Clean cooking fuels and plastic west management  with formal endorsement from NUML Islamabad. The administrator of Modern school system Abbattabad

  welcomed us and allowed us to have a session. and it was a great opportunity for our team to interact with them. The administration provided us with a conference room that accommodates 4 classes SSC and HSSC level with 3 faculty members. Before starting the presentation, group members introduced themselves to the students and shared the intentions and goals of the session. Then we started the session. The session lasted approximately one hours and included a question-and-answer session. Students asked questions and we answered them according to our knowledge and ability. We found that the students were very interested in learning more about the SDGs and their implications.  .
