Hi,
We hope you are having a restful and re-energizing summer. As we transition back into the school year, we want to highlight some of the new learning and teaching our team has created for teachers and students!
Introducing the SDG Unit
What if we could create a much more just, sustainable and healthy world by 2030? What does that world look like, and what steps do we need to take as individuals, communities and nations to get there? The United Nation (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a roadmap. The SDGs consist of 17 ambitious targets for reducing suffering and promoting the health of humans, animals and the environment.
As young people, it is important to learn about and participate in this global effort to end poverty, achieve gender equality, protect biodiversity, stop climate change, and more. BTCEA’s SDG Unit (accessible via our SLC online library) provides an introduction to the SDGs, with a specific focus on six important and interconnected goals-- Good Health and Wellbeing, Affordable and Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life Below Water, and Life on Land.
The SDG Unit features:

Warmly,
The 2023/2024 school year is wrapping up, and what a fantastic year it has been! As the summer break approaches, we’ve been reminiscing about all the wonderful things we’ve had the opportunity to be involved with this year. From educational resource development to workshop delivery, our staff and volunteers have put their hearts and souls into the work we do here.
Introducing the Action Network: Action network map - Be The Change Earth Alliance
Be The Change is launching an exciting new resource to help connect passionate youth and educators across BC! This site showcases the stories of students and educators and highlights the actions taken by our network of changemakers through an interactive map.
Happy Earth Day! Today is a great opportunity to take a moment to connect with nature, practice gratitude, and reflect on the past few months as the seasons begin to change. The past couple months at Be The Change have been busy and rewarding, and we’d love to share some of our favourite moments with you!
