The United Nations Project 2nd ESO Session 1 and 2

In my first week with 2nd ESO students I also presented Greece and the Greek alphabet along some Greek words. The introduction is the same with the 1st ESO, we talked about Greece, the students talked about the things they like in Spain and I answered their questions about me, creating a friendly relationship between us. I also explained them what the SDGs are and what are they trying to achieve. With them we focused in SDG 1 - no poverty, a.k.a. the most important one. After conversating about poverty in general I told them about the situation in Greece with refugees from Syria. I tried to make them feel how these people are feeling by showing them some poor people and their sad stories. The students read their stories and answered some general questions about the pictures I showed them. After that they are going to present to the class who is the person in their picture, some information about them and answer the questions I gave them to the rest of the class. These questions are made in a way so the students understand how the poor people feel like, what they have gone through in the past and how hard is for them to survive. Pretty much that is the second week with the 2nd ESO and we will see what will follow in the final week.

The United Nations Project 1st ESO Session 1 and 2

In my first week with 1st ESO students I presented my country, Greece and I showed them the Greek alphabet along with some common Greek words. After that I answered all their questions about me and about Greece in order to create a friendly climate in the classroom. Then, I asked them to tell me what they like about Spain and in this way I got to learn your country a little bit better. Getting into the main event, I explained to the students what the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are and what is their cause. With 1st ESO we focused on the SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production. Since this SDG is difficult to explain and difficult for them to understand the situation, I pointed with simple words the 3 main issues, which are water, food and energy. After having a good conversation with the students about these issues, we focused on other SDGs and spotted the serious problems that our Earth faces right now such as poverty, environmental destruction and lack of quality education. Having talked about all these things the students felt like they should do something about the situation and we, right now are working on the poster project. It is all about each student to create his poster delivering his message. The second week is closing with a voting by the students themselves and the best posters will be announced to the school.
