Aim of Badge
One of the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 is to ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature by 2030. There are 6 activities in this badge. Activity 1 and 2 are compulsory. Complete any three of the remaining parts 3-6.

Introduction
Activity No. 6. Take part in an activity that re-uses newspapers. This activity will give the girls a purposeful experience of
reusing newspapers which are freely available and can be collected in advance over a period of time by their families. Afterwards, ensure the papers are recycled (or reused!).

Instructions
1. First democratically decide whether you want to make a fashion show of play a sport.
2. For the fashion show, the challenge is to make an outfit out of only newspaper, with no Sellotape and no glue. The outfits
should be entirely recyclable afterwards. Then hold your catwalk/fashion show and cheer for your favourite outfits. Add some more fun by naming them and talking about your inspiration as the models parade.
3. For the sports option, pick a sport such as soccer or hockey. Now make all of the equipment needed to play this sport such
as goals, balls and sticks out of newspaper. The only materials you have to work with is the newspaper.
