Take Action Global creates a wonderful, empathetic community while engaging program participants in inspiring activities, lessons, and expert webinars. As an intern working with TAG throughout their Future Forward program, I’ve seen how the team takes initiative to understand circumstances impacting participants’ engagement and to provide personalized support. When some educators in the program were unable to join meetings or complete activities due to a lack of internet access or difficult personal situations, TAG ensured that they could still learn from incredible resources in a capacity that worked for them. During virtual exchange meetings, I saw how TAG’s care and appreciation for all participants furthered connection and collaboration between educators. With thoughtful curriculum and community, Take Action Global guides anyone through the challenge of making a difference in their community and the world.
I have had the chance of participating in a 10 week course focused on future forward global challlenge in the English classroom, thanks to it I have learned about the different challenges and issues related with the environment. Also I had the oppotunity of learning from some peers who have shown a lot of resilience with their students, it is incredible to see how many people are involved in these programs and do their best in order to impact their community and motivate pupils to participate in a more active role being changing agent. I highly recommend supporting and being part of Take Action Global in order to be part of one of the most important teams ever.
This is a truly impactful organization that puts so much love and passion into what they do. Jennifer Williams, who runs TAG, is an amazing person with a very big heart and is constantly looking for new ways for TAG to have an impact. I am a volunteer and went with Jen to a black girls who code event, and it was amazing to see the climate curriculum Jen authored in action. The girls created presentations on what they learned about climate change and pollution and everyone seemed so engaged and excited about presenting what they had learned. Considering that 40% of adults have never even heard of climate change, every project TAG does and every new person that TAG helps educate ends up having a really big impact because of what that person can then accomplish. Every person and project counts at TAG:) In summary, I love TAG!
I am Ramón from Venezuela. This year I participated in the 10-week free Virtual Exchange. During the exchange I learned a lot about how to teach English developing topics about about Global Climate Change. I also learned some teachging approaches that motivate learners being more active in their learning process. Finally, I learned other cultures.
In short, the experience was unique.

Hello, I am Edward Cumpa from Peru, as an English teacher I feel committed to the improvement of my students not only in learning English but also in the development of ecological awareness and thanks to Take Action Global Organization who developed the Climate Exchange Challenge Program in which I learned a lot and made new friends with colleagues from all over the world.
I put what I learned into practice and together with a team of teachers we have developed a project called "Learning English effectively through ecological activities", then we have presented it in a National Competition and our school is one of the winners.
This is a great achievement not only for me for my professional development but also for my school and my community. Now, students, their parents and local authorities participate in this process. I am very excited and I am sure this will be a success.

Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your story and video, Edward. We are so pleased that you participated in the Climate Exchange Challenge. We will share your project, "Learning English effectively through ecological activities" with our global community.
In the learning process of speaking, I provide instructions to students inside the classroom on what they will be working on. However, I also utilize visual aids in the surrounding environment outside the classroom to provide them with hands-on experiences. Before they start working on their projects, I encourage students to clean up the surrounding environment. Additionally, I use visual aids involving flora and fauna in the surrounding environment.
Students are encouraged to practice their language skills by taking samples of plants and animals to be explained and discussed with their group mates. This way, students not only learn to speak but also deepen their knowledge of the surrounding environment and contribute to its cleanliness and conservation. Moreover, they also teach each other how to care for the plants and animals around them, creating a collaborative and sustainable learning environment.
working with Tag has given me and my work a global recognisition.In today's world thinking green is mandatory for every business house ,institution and individual because we should believe that the world is collapsing under the weight of human callousness.If only a few wake up to realise this problem of immense magnitude will be able to give the next generation the satisfaction of a planet fit to live.
Tag has given the potential to educators like us to come together and educate schools on sdg issues.It has made collaborations so easy and accessible.
Delhi Public school,Lava,Nagpur has stood with SDGs achievement through various projects.Our keystone species-the neem trees has been planted on the Earth day and we are so delighted to be faetured on TIMES FOR Kids -Art for activism.

Hello
I am Arslan Sher from Pakistan. I have never donated anything through this platform but I have been part of Climate Action and Environmental Literacy Virtual Exchange Program 2024. In this 10 weeks exchange I have learnt a lot and my volunteerism for Climate Action has increased to the level of action. This course provided me with the way to act. I have learning for years about Climate but I needed a push to do something for this cause and to be very loyal this exchange program pushed me up for the cause. I hope that I will donate soon for this noble cause.
Currently a teacher and as a social worker I am playing my active role in favor of our climate and soon I will also be able to donate for this noble cause.
Thank You

Extremely grateful to work with TAG for Climate Change. And Thankful to TAG for selecting our school to work under CAS- Climate Action School Program. In collaboration with TAG, our school ran many different projects and inculcated Climate action education in our school. As CAS, our school ran monthly awareness program on different types of Pollution, we set up a mini kitchen garden to inculcate the value of food, participated in the Global collaboration with other countries, ran a Plastic Recycle Project, made Handmade Cloth bags, studied about Our Keystone species, participated in Lego Build the Change challenges and so much more. We proud to be the agents of change and keep making our planet better for generation's to come. TAG has also helped us in certifying our teachers as Climate Action Educators.
I highly appreciate Jennifer, Koen and team of TAG to bring a meaningful change on a global scale and make a positive difference to the world.
My experience here was fabulos. Take Action Global is helping us to participate in the Climate Action Project. I have been a part of this project since 2020 as an Educator then as a Facilitator. This project is wonderful because it helps our students and local community to acknowledge climate change and take action in preventing it. In our school we have recycling and planting programs and we also organize the Green Week - a whole week dedicated to nature preserving and preventing climate change.
In my opinion everybody should be a part of this great project.
I am very honored to be a part of TAG.
Take Action Global is an amazing organization which is facilitating the educators around the globe to work towards achieving #Agenda2030 through #SDG13ClimateAction.
The various projects it has initiated like the Climate Action Project, Goals Project, Lego Mini Challenges are all very helpful in facilitating learning and creating awareness to take action against Climate Change.
This lovely organization and its initiatives by Jennifer Williams and Koen Timmers have taken the education fraternity by storm to #TakeAction for #SDG13ClimateAction
Wishing Good luck to #TAG and Jen/Koen
