This morning our students participated in a forum during
which groups of students presented their research and ideas on four of the
UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals.
The senior students from Colegio Santa Ursula who worked on this project
volunteered, and the audience consisted of the remaining seniors and the juniors. The forum included the goals of Zero Hunger, Clean Water
and Sanitation, Climate Action and Quality Education. The Dallas students each presented a piece of
the research; three groups presented in English and one group presented in
Spanish. After each presentation, audience members made comments and asked
questions which often lead to lively and thought-provoking discussions. The
Ursuline Dallas teachers provided information and perspectives from the USA.
The entire forum was transcribed by two Colegio Santa Ursula students and once
it is completely translated into Spanish, Portuguese and English it will be
sent to UNESCO.

Students, host sisters, and teachers all ate lunch together
near campus to celebrate a successful forum. Following lunch the students
returned to classes while the Ms. Rico and Mr. Poellot visited the GOAL English
classes to interact with the students and assist in their practice of speaking
English. These classes are extra classes students can take to improve their
mastery of the English language, and it is from these groups of students that
future delegates from Brazil to Dallas will be chosen.
