Teacher Champion Awards
The VoFG Teacher Champion Programme honors teachers for their vital role in shaping children’s futures. By inspiring sustainability and storytelling, they lead with dedication and vision. This initiative celebrates their efforts in driving positive change and supporting VoFG education programs, empowering a generation for a sustainable future.
We can all change the world a little.
If we work together, we can change a lot.
What do you think it takes to make a difference?
If you close your eyes, can you imagine a hero who could change our world for the better? Take a look at the Sustainable Development Goals for inspiration and for an idea of the things they might be fighting for. Now picture this character and imagine what they have to go through to achieve their goal.
They probably have to go on an adventure. Perhaps there will be huge obstacles in their way. There could be villains they need to evade, or quests they must accomplish. There could be unlikely friends along the way.
Enter the
competition!
If you are between 8 - 12 years old and you have an idea for an adventure story, this is the competition for you. Your story needs to be written for other children above the age of 6, and it should inspire a better, more sustainable future.
