The participants from Sto. Ni\u00f1o Elementary School enthusiastically exchange ideas with their peers during the story ideation. The start had been quite challenging because they have plenty of ideas. Freytag\u2019s structure taught them to simplify the story, such that it will powerfully communicate their understanding of the SDGs.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this 2-day workshop, participants explored how their knowledge and creativity could help amplify the call to protect the environment to ensure its sustainability. They wrote stories based on how they interpret the UN SDG, particularly: good health and well-being (SDG 3), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), affordable and renewable energy (SDG 7), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), climate action (SDG 13), life below water and on land (SDGs 14 and 15).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, they are never too young to making the world a better place!\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This activity is part of the Bio+Mine\u2019s systemic approach to rehabilitating the Tublay community. With awareness of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the youth of Tublay could better position themselves as future stewards of their community.
