Q.
Have you ever conducted any lessons or projects on the SDGs or ESD within your school community?
a. Classroom lessons or activities
b. Long-term projects in the classroom
c. School-wide campaigns
As a classroom teacher, I have been educating students of various grades on some applicable SDGs goals through daily teaching or lessons. SDG goals like "no poverty, good health and well-being, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, life on land, life below land and climate action" all begin with individual action is what I always embed into teaching-learning activities.
To overcome the "clean water and sanitation" challenge, I have taken various initiatives within my organization and beyond. Through the "Rotary Club of Thimphu" I have installed SkyHydrant water filter, which has the capacity to filter around 12,000 liters of "safe and clean" drinking water for school kids. As a BTO (Bhutan Toilet Organization) ambassador, I've also worked closely to uplift the sanitation (clean toilet challenge) within and outside the school campus and in recent few years the sanitation around school campus has improved a lot. Working everyday with young individuals of below 20-year gave me a lot of space to work beyond my actual role as a teacher to improve 6th SDG goal to the grassroots level.
