In early October, EduChange President Catherine Saldutti ventured to the land of sustainability — Costa Rica–to speak about incorporating all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals into our Integrated Science Program for Ages 13-20. The HEP 2019 conference with Partners of the Americas convened educators and development professionals from the USA and Latin America, with a goal of establishing partnerships the empower the next generation of international education initiatives. The SDGs provide a wonderful framework for interdisciplinary approaches to global problem-solving through humanitarian approaches. Students can learn “the why” of STEM through the lens of the Global Goals. Catherine gave presentations: Teaching All 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Through STEM Education and Adult Education for the SDGs: Reaching Community Leaders Taking Action. They were well-attended and prompted fruitful discussions. EduChange looks forward to additional partnerships in the LATAM region–thank you HEP 2019!
