As part of our commitment to UNESCO's Greening Education Partnership, and building on the success of the BIG GREEN Lesson 2023, we have launched The BIG GREEN Legacy. It’s an initiative with the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation (AGF) designed to support climate and environmental education here in the UAE and allows us to hear directly from students how they would like to learn.
Students can share their thoughts by playing a gamified and play-based survey uniquely designed for UAE youth. By participating, students' responses will help form and shape policies and greening curriculum content within the UAE.
While individual responses won't be linked to specific institutions, the overall results will be published in a national report, providing valuable insights for institutions to shape their future plans. This data will serve as an annual indicator of youth perspectives on climate education.
Why This Survey Matters:
- Amplifies student voices in climate education decision-making.
- Informs policy and curriculum development based on real student feedback.
- Provides a valuable data point contributing to the QS World University Rankings.
What We Need from You:
- Please share the survey link with your students and encourage their participation: https://youth.greeningeducation.ae
- We have created a communications and social media toolkit with visual materials and text samples, including a suggested email to share with your student body.
