GOAL 17 – GET TOGETHER NOW!

GOAL 17 – GET TOGETHER NOW! is a film project about the implications and opportunities of the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) regarding the prospects for youth participation. The goals are recounted on film in 17 segments, each by a different class from Nürtingen Primary School in Kreuzberg, Berlin. All film episodes were researched, artistically developed and realised by the children involved as a contribution to their sustainability goal.

During their collaboration on the GOAL 17 – Children make the world! project in 2022, the children came up with the idea of communicating the goals as a school to other children and educators in order to envision and propagate a future world community. The children looked at questions such as: How can as many people as possible engage with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals? Why can’t we have a say, even though it is our future at stake? How can we reach a large audience? How can we make the adults, who decide our future and the health of the planet, take us seriously? 

And so came about the idea of a collective film project on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.   

The films will function as learning material – both within and beyond Nürtingen Primary School.  

The children and teachers intend to create a material box as accompanying learning material to broadcast the films and the subject matter of the 17 goals to children and adults. 

The 17 episodes will be produced over time and presented here: 

 

Goal 1: NO POVERTY – Nürtingen 23
Goal 2: Zero Hunger – WHO GETS FILTHY RICH?
Goal 3: Good Health – HEALTH WITHOUT BORDERS
Goal 5: Gender Equality – DRAWERS
Goal 6: Water and Sanitation – WATER
Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities – Empathy
Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – INVESTMENTS
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production: JEANS
Goal 13: Climate Action – OUR FUTURE!
Goal 14: Life under Water – BeforeAfter

Additionally, a card set was developed together with the participating children and teachers, which can be used as supplementary learning material by both teachers and the children themselves to further convey the films and the content of the 17 goals to both children and adults.

The project was supported by:

Respect!

A film about the rules of living together

Who obeys totally uncool school rules that nobody understands? 75 students rewrite their school rules to convey the basic rules of living and learning together in a language and aesthetics that the students can understand. 

Together with sideviews, students in grades 7-9. developed the film project “RESPECT!”, including the soundtrack. The result was six episodes on the topics of punctuality, conflicts, responsibility, behavior, school climate and discrimination, in the formats of feature films, commercials and reports. These were presented at a premiere in the Eiszeit Cinema in Kreuzberg, Berlin.

RESPECT! – A Film about the rules of living together, 2012-2013

The film was the springboard for the theatre profile of the Refik Veseli School, which started in February 2013 with the pilot “Why is it so hard to talk about love?”.
