Videos from the Global South on the SDGs
The work on the project Culpeer4Change has shown the impact that groups from the Global South can have on our view and understanding of sustainable development. Hence, here some examples are included that showcase the work of such groups that bring awareness to key issues in an artistic manner. These can be used as part of cultural peer learning, including digitally. The opportunities to see the work of others and delve into their perspective on crucial issues can be utilised to initiate dialogue and cooperation to support the Sustainable Development Goals.
Lesson 1: How can the videos be used in a step-by-step approach
Step 1 The individual or the group should familiarise themselves with the Sustainable development goals.
Step 2 The short guide below can help navigate which videos to be viewed in relation to an SDG that is of interest. The participants should familiarise themselves with the group, where they are from, what is their main activity. This in itself would broaden knowledge of the trainees and open them to new cultures
Step 3 View one or more videos
Step 4 Have an online/in person discussion about the video among the trainees: What were the topics discussed?, What was the issue at focus?, What other SDGs (other than the one pointed out) do you see covered and how?
Step 5 Have a discussion with the group whose video was watched- Ask questions, share comments, impact and share knowledge about work of others in the respective domains. If it is not possible to have a discussion with the group, have a second session with your peers and come up with ideas on how your group would approach the subject.
Step 6: Brainstorm ideas and possibilities for cooperation

Country of origin: Uganda
Name of Group: SOSOLYA
Short Video description: At the beginning of June 2019, Bagonza Herman Katoroogo, dance trainer at the Sosolya Ungudu Dance Academy from Kampala/Uganda, was a guest at an 11th class (ProVo2) at the Erich Kästner School in Hamburg-Farmsen. His visit was part of the "CREACTIV for climate justice" project of the KinderKulturKarawane. The program included creative exercises, reflections on dreams and ideals, discussions on the causes and effects of climate change and possible solutions: Who were the people who shaped me? What is important to me in life? What can we do against global warming? What could climate-friendly cities look like? To this end, the young people drafted their own laws for their cities of the future. At the end there was a dance class. When the young artists from Sosolya come to visit in October 2019, a joint performance should emerge from these ideas and be brought to the public
