Step 3: Discuss in detail for the ONE goal that CaL has selected as a focus area for this year. The projects for this year should only focus on this goal:
Goal 11: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/cities/ (Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable)

Step 4: Divide kids into pairs or small groups. Students can read about the problems related to SDG 11 as well as India’s stance on the SDG. You can have pairs of students read different content and then share with each other. They can explore some sites for this:
