They began the session with a beautiful song: 'We are in Goa'
The session was well executed by them as it was interactive and kept all the learners engaged. They chose to speak about the MOLLEM DEFORESTATION which is one of the burning local issues and is also related with many environmental issues.

The best part was the video which reminded that 'The wellbeing of the plant is in our children's hands'

We would also encourage the learners to lend their support to speak up against MOLLEM DEFORESTATION.

The previous day I had announced that we would be looking at the social issues in our next class and that they could come prepared for the discussion. The next day to my surprise most of the learners were eagerly waiting for the discussion and when I asked them the reason for their excitement one of the learners said, “I know why are we looking into the social issues.” I asked, “why?” to which he replied saying that we will be linking the on-going unit with the social issues. At first, I was like… ok... let’s see… as I didn’t want to dishearten him and take away his excitement.

Initially we began our class by sharing and discussing about the various social issues. I was a bit disenchanted as I couldn’t find involvement of all the learners but as we reached the mid of our discussion, I could find maximum participation from the learners as they quickly picked the discussion.

Through our discussion when I introduced them to the sustainable development goals, I learned that they weren’t aware of them. I couldn’t find a learner who had heard about it earlier. I then showed them the picture of the 17SDGs and I guess it was easier for them to relate the SDGs with our on-going discussion.

For a next few session, we saw all the SDGs through the comic cartoons by Margreet de Heer. All thanks to Margeet for the learners could clearly have an idea about the SDGs. During these sessions we used See, think, wonder thinking routine which gave the learners a chance to broaden their perspective about the issues.

Now it was the time for the learners to pick their SDGs on which they would be interested to work on and for this they also sought help from their parents.

Finally, the learners were able to find the area that interested them and created posters.
