AIIDEV Africa Teach4SDGs: Program Overview
AIIDEV Africa has announced the launch of the 2025 cohort of the Teach4SDGs program, an initiative aimed at equipping primary and secondary school teachers across Africa with the knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development. This transformative program is designed to integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into teaching practices, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG Target 4.7, which focuses on equipping learners with the competencies necessary to promote sustainability by 2030.
The Teach4SDGs program focuses on training educators to deliver SDG-based education effectively. By integrating SDGs into existing school curricula, the program aims to impact students’ behavior, social-emotional well-being, and overall societal transformation. Through this initiative, teachers are envisioned not just as educators but as mentors and agents of change who guide learners toward a sustainable future.
The program is set to run virtually over 16 weeks, starting in February 2025, and includes intensive training sessions and SDG activation projects in participants’ schools.
Eligibility Criteria
To apply for the program, prospective participants must meet the following criteria:
- Be a primary or secondary school teacher in a public or private school in Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Be aged between 20 and 45 years.
- Commit at least four hours across two days per week for virtual sessions.
- Demonstrate interest in promoting SDG education, even without prior knowledge of the SDGs.
- Have access to a reliable internet connection to participate in virtual training sessions conducted in English.
How to Apply
Interested teachers are encouraged to complete the application form and submit it by the deadline, January 25, 2025. Applications submitted in languages other than English or by individuals who do not meet the eligibility criteria will not be considered.
