The Grand Finale

Children's Art Challenge to drive the SDGs


Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. 

Welcome to our interactive, continuous and sustainable learning program.

We are celebrating the successful completion of our children's art challenge to accelerate the SDGs. Christmas is best celebrated with family, so we looked for a rural family and included their rural children in our challenge.

Our children shared their inspirational creations about how to limit climate change. They unlocked one sdg per day.

A "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future."


We invited school-aged children to unleash their creativity and envision a sustainable future through their art. Together, let's paint a brighter tomorrow for our planet.”

Our work targets children, youth and women around the world - the next generation of consumers and change-makers to show that sustainable living is easy, cool and fun.

Just three weeks were enough to unlock all the secrets of the sustainable development goals.

This was fun, colorful, easy and sustainable. Dozens of energetic and smart children participated in our challenge with curiosity and joy. Together we successfully completed this most talked about topic in the world and attracted around 400 thousand people worldwide.

This was our contribution to COP28 UAE!

Regardless of what decision makers are doing to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, we, as educators can use this fantastic framework to further our students’ understanding of the world and help develop them into much greater global citizens.

About the challenge

Imagine the vastness of the ocean, the mesmerizing dance of marine life, the resilient stories of indigenous communities, and the undying call to preserve this blue wonder. Now, picture the voices of our children echoing their sentiments, dreams, and hopes through art, and making a resonant mark at none other than COP28. 

This initiative is not just a contest, but a platform for young visionaries under the age of 18 to manifest their perspectives on the monumental effects of climate change on our oceans.

For Fernanda  Eco-girl means a girl without plastic.

She offers reusable pads because they are durable and eco-friendly and have a positive impact on the environment.

Reusable cloth pads can be washed and reused for several years, reducing the amount of waste produced.

Sustainable Development Goals


The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of seventeen interlinked objectives designed to serve as a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future."[1][2][3] The short titles of the 17 SDGs are: No poverty (SDG 1), Zero hunger (SDG 2), Good health and well-being (SDG 3), Quality education (SDG 4), Gender equality (SDG 5), Clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9), Reduced inequalities (SDG 10), Sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), Climate action (SDG 13), Life below water (SDG 14), Life on land (SDG 15), Peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16), and Partnerships for the goals (SDG 17).

The SDGs emphasize the interconnected environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development by putting sustainability at their center.[4][5]

In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) created the SDGs as part of the Post-2015 Development Agenda. This agenda sought to design a new global development framework, replacing the Millennium Development Goals, which were completed that same year.[6] These goals were formally articulated and adopted in a UNGA resolution known as the 2030 Agenda, often informally referred to as Agenda 2030.[7] On 6 July 2017, the SDGs were made more actionable by a UNGA resolution that identifies specific targets for each goal and provides indicators to measure progress.[8] Most targets are to be achieved by 2030, although some have no end date.[9]
