On February 4th, 2019 we mobilized 40 young leaders to deliver The World’s Largest Lesson in 13 different schools all across Nepal. WLL was one of the remarkable events hosted by AIESEC in Nepal. The Volunteers were from 25 different Colleges from all over the country and they were trained to deliver the lessons in schools. The action impacted 800+ students in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Kavre, and Lumbini.
The volunteers inculcated a sense of responsibility in the students through the course of the sessions and made them realize the importance of their contribution to making the world a better place to live in by 2030. The students walked out as conscientious citizens of the planet with a will to make a difference with their little efforts.
The initiative revolves around the question – If you had only 60 minutes to teach the students the lesson of their life, What would it be?
It is not only the responsibility of the government, companies, authorities to achieve these Global Goals, but also the young generation who are the future leaders of the nation. The school students were very excited to meet these young volunteers from other cities around Nepal, visit us from so far and come to this corner of the city to speak directly, personally, about The Sustainable Development Goals. We hope that with this experience we can include the SDGs in our government perspectives.
The sessions in World’s Largest Lesson are conducted in a manner such that every student personally connects to the lessons. The sessions are personalized so as to call to the emotions of the students and to lighten their will to contribute towards the society and hence the planet. The delivery of the workshops is well-planned and structured so as to give the students a deeper insight of the Global Goals and the urgent need of their contribution towards it.
