First Step towards Sustainability ~ Awareness
Now a days, many communities, institutions and individuals are selflessly working towards SDGs which are to be achieved by 2030. I along with other scout leaders, were motivated to encourage our boy scouts to also work towards these goal and make some healthy contributions in society to create a better world.
Our Project is called "Scout Bazaar" in which each patrol is given two SDG's to come up with sustainable solutions, for global issues highlighted in respective goals.
However, we all know that the first step towards every solution is awareness and planning therefore we conducted an introductory phase of the event in which I and my fellow leaders described about what SDG's are, what problem do they cater, what projects have been done before and what else can we do to solve such issues mindfully.
By the end of the awareness session, scouts had a strong grip about the various aspects of SDG's, they were highly motivated to plan and execute some practical solutions and were really inspired by the idea of working towards really well defined goals.
By the end of the event they will surely present their initiatives confidently and will guide their fellows to join them and do some small contributions to create a big impact in society.
Scouts learned about the latest initiatives in SDG's and everyone whether scouts or non scouts can gather to create huge impact in their communities and hence inspire others to do so as well.
