Humanities Year 9

GLOBAL GOALS YOUTH CONFERENCE

On the 29th of August, six year 9 students attended the Global Goals Youth Forum at Ivanhoe Grammar, Plenty Campus. We participated in a series of tasks that challenged our thinking and problem solving skills, regarding issues in third world countries. We started in our school group and presented a small speech about our country of focus, Bangladesh. Then, we were split into teams, where we were mixed with students from other schools, in order to create a solution for issues such as birth registration, child labour and child refugees. We enjoyed the opportunity to participate in such a great organisation, that showed us a different view on some of the things we might take for granted. It was awesome to be able to share our thoughts and ideas with other students our age and raise awareness about what is happening across the globe.
