Abstract
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to tackle global problems and promote peace and sustainability, now and in future. Environmental education is a core element of these goals as climate change goes hand in hand with poverty, for instance. Although global education should play a big role in schools, according to an interim report of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, global issues are dealt with only in some subjects and there’s often a lack of student participation. The project «Weltfairsteher» offers challenges for students with reference to the 17 SDGs for practical use in any school and on any educational level. The tasks are interdisciplinary and they motivate students to act. Some of the challenges are highly suitable for foreign language lessons, as they can be combined with texts from different perspectives or stimulate discussions. In this essay, some examples are given of how to integrate «Weltfairsteher» into Italian lessons.
