My school impact
General information
Project name: My school impact
Country: The Netherlands
Timeline: From 3 February 2025 to 15 May 2026
Lead Organisation: Stichting Together One World (STOW)
Partner Organisation: SDG Nederland
Summary of Action
To effectively address global challenges, awareness and action from every individual, as well as collaboration among all members of our society, are essential.
With the initiative ‘My school impact,’ we aim to educate approximately 2000 young EU citizens (ages 15-18) about global challenges through workshops held in secondary schools across the Netherlands. We will engage participants through diverse assignments, encourage peer connections, and inspire them to take meaningful action within their own schools, addressing a global challenge. They will also be inspired by examples of young activists from the Global South, fostering a sense of global citizenship.
The actions proposed by these young individuals must align with one or more Sustainable Development Goal(s). Participants will be invited to submit a video or a moodboard outlining their idea. We will set up 3 deadlines during this project. After the deadlines, STOW and SDG Netherlands will select the winners. Each of the three selected teams will be awarded EUR 1,000 to implement their proposed action.
While this initiative will be a standalone project, we aim for long-term sustainability by partnering with schools in the Netherlands and organisations in the Netherlands that support sustainable actions at schools. This collaboration will help us expand our influence and enhance our positive impact.
In this way, we can keep inspiring the youth to come into action and actively participate in making the school a better and more sustainable place for the next generations to come.
