Children in school today are going to be the leaders of the future. For this generation to successfully be able to think of progress that is sustainable and inclusive, they need to be made aware of the realities of today. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a global call from all UN Member nations to work on important, world-changing objectives.

Around the globe, children in schools are learning about the UNDP Sustainable Development Goals. Over 3600 classrooms across the globe are learning more about the 17 sustainable development goals. Tapas is proud to be one of them! The UNDP Sustainable Development Goals are actively discussed in our classes with the help of real-world projects. Students learning at Tapas are actively working on projects that help them understand the need for these goals and how to go about solving the problems to help enable the achievement of these goals.

India has been at the forefront of fighting climate change and will play an important role in helping achieve the UNDP sustainable development goals. Tapas wants to be one of the flagbearers for educating students about sustainable and inclusive growth in classrooms. Learning of the UNDP Sustainable Development Goals cannot happen in silos, however. It takes a fundamental shift in approach in the children and their way of thinking. At Tapas, our project-based learning approach puts students face to face with real-world problems. This coupled with our value-based education system helps Students not only develop critical thinking and analytical skills but also develop empathy. This helps them understand the importance of inclusive growth. Through our projects simulating commercial environments, we have seen multiple instances of children suggesting ideas that could be termed ‘conscious capitalism’. It is refreshing to see children at this early age develop this keen sense of analysis while also being in touch with ethics.

At Tapas, we are laying the foundation stone for a new way of learning for children in India. Come have a chat with us to understand how this way of learning can help your child be ready for the future.
