Learn about the SDGs & Take Action
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — also known as the Global Goals — are a shared plan to build a fairer, safer, healthier, and more sustainable world by 2030. But the SDGs aren’t just policy. They’re lived — in schools, communities, workplaces, farms, councils, charities, and youth groups — through practical actions that improve real lives.
This page on SDG.VISION helps you learn about the SDGs and discover real-world examples of people taking action. You’ll find short films and stories that make the Goals easier to understand — and easier to act on.
If you’re doing something that supports any SDG, we’d love to feature your story too.
What you’ll find on this page
Clear, simple ways to understand the 17 SDGs
Short films showing real actions people are taking right now
Youth-led projects and community initiatives you can copy
Practical ideas for schools, clubs, organisations, and local leaders
Stories that connect local work to global impact
Take Action: Start small, start local, start now
You don’t need permission to make a difference. Many of the strongest SDG actions begin with simple steps:
Notice a problem in your school/community
Gather a few people who care
Try one practical improvement
Film the change and share what you learned
Your story can help someone else act faster.
Share your SDG film on SDG.VISION
We welcome films and stories linked to any of the 17 SDGs — especially practical, positive actions that others can replicate.
What you can submit
Youth Action films:
Under 1 minute (ideal for social media)
Up to 3 minutes (a fuller story)
Longer films are welcome too — we’ll feature them on SDG.VISION and link them to the relevant SDG pages and themes.
Examples of SDG actions to film
A school project improving inclusion, wellbeing, or climate action
A community group tackling food insecurity or loneliness
A local nature restoration, clean-up, or water protection initiative
A social enterprise creating decent work or fair access
A partnership between groups that achieved real outcomes
How to send your film
Upload your film via WeTransfer
Send it to: Share@SDG.VISION
Include (if you can): film title, your name/organisation, location, which SDG(s) it supports, and a 1–2 sentence summary of the action and impact.
We may also invite you to a podcast conversation with Pierre (SDG.VISION Director) to explore your story in more depth and help others learn from your experience.
Why share your SDG story?
Because stories teach faster than theory. A short film can:
make the SDGs feel real and relevant
inspire others with practical steps they can copy
attract partners, volunteers, supporters, and resources
help young people feel seen, valued, and empowered
build a positive library of solutions for a better future
Quick call-to-action (use as an on-page advert)
