This is a series of five activities that aim to give young people (and adults) the confidence, opportunity, voice and space to choose the world you want. 
 
By the end of each activity, you will have a wonderful creation – be it a drawing, piece of colouring, photo, film, scrapbook response, model of clay, Lego, plasticine or something made out of rubbish. We are asking you to email us photos of your inspirational creations which will form an exciting online exhibition.
 
This online exhibition will conclude the activities. It will give you, and us, a chance to share your amazing ideas with other people, build real hope and give us all ideas that we can take on to choose the world we want to live in. 
 
Each week we’ve based the activity on one Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), or Global Goals, which is linked to fair trade. These activities will help you explore the goals. The Global Goals were developed by the UN in 2015 when over 30 countries met to work together. They came up with 17 goals to end poverty by 2030. We are looking at just five of them. You can find out more about the goals here: https://www.globalgoals.org/ 
 
Take part in as many or as few of the activities as you want, give as much time to them as you wish to, maybe link them together, or create a final response to all five activities and send them to us by email with your signed consent form  (see the post to the right for the form) as soon as possible. 

We will add them to our Choose the World You Want exhibition.
