Welcome

First things first

• This presentation will take about 40 minutes
• You are invited to participate with your phone to answer questions :) (teachers can join too)
• Please listen carefully
• Please don't use your phone for anything else than answering the questions
• If you like, you can take screenshots of the slides

Are you looking forward to the rest of the weekend?

1. YESSS!!!
2. Yup.
3. I find it a bit scary.
4. I'm only here for the lasergame.

The goals for the educational part :) 

• Working with the sustainability goals
•  Learning about values, standards and dilemma's
• Finding out what your personal values are
• Finding out what the sustainability goals mean to you personally
• Thinking about clever solutions that might solve multiple problems at once
• And of course: discuss all these things in groups

The product

Together with your group you will create a digital poster. 

You will present your poster for the full group tomorrow. 

 More guidelines for the poster will appear later in this presentation. 

Video about a dilemma

• We will now start with a short movie (10 minutes) about a dilemma.
• It has some annoying noises sometimes, but everything in this video has a meaning (even the noises).
• While watching, please think about the meaning of everything you see and hear. 

According to you: which person is responsible for the accident in this movie?

What would you have done if you were the man in control of the steering wheel?

What is a dilemma?

• A dilemma is a difficult decision  in which neither of the outcomes is desired. 
• You can compare it to a bull that is running towards you, and you have to decide if you want to be impaled by it's left or it's right horn.

This doesn't seem like a fair choice, does it?

But if you find a way to slow down the bull, maybe you find out that one of it's horns is a bit shorter. And you can choose the option with the better outcome. (in this example: getting injured instead of being killed)

Values

• Dilemma's are caused by conflicting values.
  
  
• What are values?
•  important, desirable things
• not tangible (you cannot touch them)
• expressed in one word
  
  
• In example: wealth, love, safety, privacy, equality.

Name as many values as you can think of. (you can name a value, hit enter, add another one, etc.)

Shared values

• Values are very personal.
• But sometimes a culture shares certain values.
• In example: in the western culture freedom (or liberty) is a very important value.

(Hey, we're getting close to the sustainability goals now!)

Example

Tomorrow is a very important mathematics test. If you don't study tonight, you will certainly fail. But suddenly you hear your friend's parents are out of town and she decides to throw a big party. This party will definitely be the talk of the town tomorrow. You really, really don't want to fail the mathematics test, but you also experience FOMO (fear of missing out).

What would you do?

Values that are connected to the mathematics test.	Values that are connected to visiting the party.
Education	Friendship
Success	Belonging
Pride	Popularity
Duty	Fun
Future	Pleasure

Let's change the example.

It's still the same mathematics test and you are studying. But your friend calls you up: she's in the city center and her bike got stolen. It's getting a bit dark outside, her parents are out of town and she has no idea how to get home. You can tell by the sound of here voice that she is freaking out.

What would you do in this example?

Values that are connected to the mathematics test.	Values that are connected to helping your friend out.
Education	Friendship
Success	Helpfulness
Pride	Human dignity
Duty	Compassion
Future	Safety

Values and standards

• Values lead to standards.
• In example: if health is a very important value to you, you set personal standards like: not eating junkfood,  workout a couple of times a week, visit the doctor regularly. 
• A person's actions often reveal what their personal values are.

We are nearly there!

• After the final slides, your group receives some tasks to find out more about values, standards, dilemma's and the sustainability goals. 
• These tasks will help you to make the poster later on.
  
  
• But first: some multiple choice questions.

1. A question you don't know the answer to.
2. A choice in which all the options seem like a bad one.

Poster

 Together with your group, make a digital poster about one of the sustainability goals. Make sure you mention:

• Why this goal is important
  
• What values are related to this goal
  
• What the difficulties are when solving this goal
  
• What problems can be solved to improve this goal
  
• Optionally: what other problems can be solved by improving this goal
  

Medium

We suggest you make a digital poster in PowerPoint, but there is room for creativity! If you have another idea to present your goal, you can discuss this with a teacher. (Another medium can be Prezi.)
