Match the SDGs

• Prepare an envelope with statements in for each group by printing one copy of the ‘Statements’ handout per group and cutting it up so that each statement is on a separate slip of paper.
• One copy of the SDGs and sub-goals handout per group.

Divide the participants into groups of no more than six. Hand out a set of statements and SDG sub-goals to each group.

GROUPWORK (23 MIN)

Ask each group to read through the different statements on the slips and then discuss and pair the statements with the relevant SDG subgoals. Some statements relate to several SDG subgoals, so there can be more than one right answer!

Circulate between the groups to answer any questions they might have as they work on the task.

PLENARY DISCUSSION (15 MIN)

Lead the plenary discussion with the following questions:

• How did you find this exercise? Did anyone discover a new link between the SDGs and the right to FORB that you hadn’t considered before?
• Are any of the linkages between FORB and the SDGs particularly important in your context? Why?
• Could these linkages be useful to highlight or take into account your work? If so, how?

Conclude the exercise by thanking everyone for their engagement in the discussion, and say you hope they found the exercise a useful starting point for thinking about how to make more use of the linkages between the SDGs and FORB in their work.
