Help us test
We have just published a new course on the 17 Global Goals. Help us make it really useful for real teachers. Start by taking the course yourself, and try using it with your students if you think it fits into your teaching. We are interested in any kind of problems you encounter. Send feedback to [email protected].
Here you can find the online course: gapminder.org/un-course
Examination
At the end of the course, the student will be given a test, with 18 questions. Anyone who passes all the questions without any errors will receive a PDF diploma. (You can ask your students to do the course independently and prove that they passed the test by sending you a copy of the diploma with their name.) The diploma looks like this:
Free to use
You are free to copy the questions from the test and insert them into the tool you are most used to using. If you want to test your students with Google Forms, you can follow the instructions here. Please let us know which tools you usually use to test the class, and please send examples of other teaching materials that make it easy in these tools. Contact us at: [email protected].

The course consists of these 6 films that you can also show without using the online course:
