GPA and local partners have created a comprehensive set of murals to raise awareness of the 17 SDGs and, combined with financial contributions to local nonprofit organizations, this effort truly exemplifies the shared goals of the communities that make up this historic city.
Along with the SDG Murals, GPA has developed lesson plans intended to guide educators and students in advocating for sustainability. All lessons are free to download.
