Become a Real-Life SUPERHERO!
Join the “SDG-Hero Challenge”!
Do you know what the SDGs are and who created them? Do you know until what year they run and which goals are most important for Curaçao? We challenge you to earn digital badges and prove that you’re a true ‘SDG-hero’!
Maybe you’ve come across the English acronym “SDGs” before (you pronounce it as es-dee-jees). SDG stands for “Sustainable Development Goals.” These are 17 goals aimed at making the world a better place, and they extend until 2030. These goals were agreed upon by all the countries that are part of the United Nations (UN), including Curaçao as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
These goals were established in 2015, and everyone worldwide, even in non-UN member countries, could contribute ideas on their content. Eventually, 17 goals were chosen by the UN, focusing on peace and security, economic development, environmental protection, and the complete eradication of poverty and hunger. Each goal was given specific “targets” — a total of 169 — outlining what needs to be achieved to meet the SDGs.
The SDG's and Curaçao
Curaçao has developed a National Development Plan 2025-2030 based on the 6 SDGs it has chosen to focus on:
- SDG1: No Poverty
- SDG3: Good Health and Well-being
- SDG4: Quality Education
- SDG7: Affordable and Clean Energy
- SDG8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- SDG14: Life Below Water
In December 2018, Curaçao drafted a “Roadmap for SDG Implementation,” outlining these goals and what we need to do to achieve them. One of the action points in the report is the “SDG Action Week,” of which this “SDG-Hero” challenge is a part.
As a Small Island nation, the SDGs have special meaning for Curaçao. To understand why, check out this video made by the UN for the opening of the SIDS conference earlier this year.
How to Become an ‘SDG-Hero’
You become an ‘SDG-Hero’ by earning the SDG badges. There is a playlist with 6 activities, each corresponding to a badge. Earn 1 or more badges? Then you’re a hero. If you earn all of them, you’ll receive the badge for completing the entire playlist and become a “Superhero”!
Win prizes!
Everyone who earns a badge can win great prizes. And if you manage to become a “Superhero,” there are extra prizes, and your name and photo will be featured on the “Superhero Wall of Fame.”
