Description:

The Klett Award for Sustainable Development Education in the World Language Classroom recognizes both language educators (K-20) and language programs that have effectively incorporated elements of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their classroom curriculum and projects, and in doing so promote global awareness and social responsibility among their students and peers, the world leaders of the future.

Volunteers should have a background in sustainable development education. 
 
Number of hours committed varies depending on the number of nominations received, generally 2-3 hours.
