SDGs LINKAGES
This resource enables professionals engaged in art and heritage education to help their targeted learners (in the resource they are secondary school/high school pupils) establish connection to art archives and make creative inquiries and reflections through archival collections. It helps users address SDG targets 4.1 (providing quality secondary education through an art archive), 4.7 (equip learners with knowledge and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to SDGs), 16.7 (make use of responsive and participatory decision-making approaches), 16.10 (public access to art archives through digitized collections), 17.17 (establish civil society partnerships between schools and archives).
