UN Global Goals
The UN Global Goals played a big part in this project as the more goals you had, the better your space achieved utopia. Chantelle Gilbert (a senior planning officer) spoke to us about global goal 3 (good health and wellbeing) and how having good mental and physical health is important. Romy Lawson (lecturer at Murdoch University) also spoke to us about having many hospitals, therapy and parks so that the community will be able to communicate and feel like home. There were a total of 17 global goals, of which my group got accreditation for 6. These goals were good health and wellbeing; life below water; life on land; reduced inner qualities; zero hunger and no poverty. We achieved these goals by describing what they mean, how we would incorporate the goal and the impact. The process was challenging because sometimes our ideas got turned down and we had to rethink.
From this experience I have learnt a lot. Including sustainability, talking skills, Australia’s 3 levels of government and lots more. I have also figured out that being creative takes time & effort, working in a team is difficult sometimes and, Achieving your goal is easier when you know what it is you are trying to achieve, create a plan, and being organized to do something on the project evenly over time. I would love to do the project again and make our building more realistic! If we got to do this again I would’ve been more organized with a plan of who does what.
