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).
