NYC Junior Ambassadors Students Raise Awareness of SDG 5

Following our classroom discussion on May 18th in partnership with Freedom United, 7th graders at the Mott Hall School have completed a capstone project tackling SDG 5 (Gender Equality). The students put together a Google Slide presentation with the goal of raising awareness and understanding among their peers of gender equality and child marriage.

UNA-NYC and the Mott Hall School are collaborating as part of the NYC Junior Ambassadors (NYCJA) program, an initiative of the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs which enables 7th graders in New York City to engage with the United Nations and learn about its work. We are in the process of planning further sessions in the fall.
