Both parents and teachers should encourage children to think about the future they want to see. Encouraging children to visualise a more sustainable world through their imagination and adventurous spirit is a brilliant starting point for changing the world.
It is important for children, their parents and teachers to focus on how to tell a good story. It often starts with an idea, a character, and then a journey through the tale. We shouldn’t worry about spelling or punctuation, but focus on the ideas in their creative writing.
Thinking of a Sustainable Development Goal that means something to the writer on a personal level is a good place to start. There are 17 of them, so plenty to choose from. Then they can brainstorm how to create an adventure story that illustrates that goal, even before they begin
The most important tip is to write; the more that a child writes down their ideas, becomes familiar with how to use words to set a scene, the better their written work will become.
