The non-profit organization Awesome People, based in Örebro, Sweden, is running the project "Keys to the Sustainable Development Goals (Keys to SDGs)", funded by the Swedish Inheritance Fund (Arvsfonden). The project aims to increase young people's knowledge of the Global Goals and Agenda 2030, and to inspire them to make active choices to help achieve these goals.

​

Within the project, we are working together with young people to create a learning escape room for each of the 17 Global Goals. A learning escape room is an active, team-based game where players discover clues, solve puzzles, and complete tasks in order to accomplish a mission within a set time limit. Awesome People designs learning escape rooms where participants not only play, but also gain knowledge about a specific topic – primarily through reflection after the experience.

 

Our rooms are also portable, which means we can set them up anywhere, for example in a classroom. As part of the project, we will also produce an action guide with concrete and easy-to-understand information on how individuals can contribute to achieving the Global Goals. The purpose is to increase youth engagement and inspire action for change.
