Idea tray
The idea tray includes various actions divided in accordance with the aspects of sustainable development that can be used when you consider the joint pledge of your class or school. You can use the pledges on the idea tray as they are, to stimulate your own ideas, or come up with and implement your very own pledge. When making a pledge, discuss with your group in advance what the pledge entails in more detail and which of the UN 2030 Agenda goals it relates to. You can submit and publish your pledge via the ‘Make a pledge’ link.
