\nThe World\u2019s Largest Lesson<\/strong>
\nWorld leaders from all nations, developed and developing, have committed to the Global Goals for Sustainable Development<\/a>. Seventeen truly ambitious goals<\/a>, and at Esri, we are committed to achieving each one.
\nIn partnership with Project Everyone<\/a>, we are incredibly excited to collaborate on the World\u2019s Largest Lesson<\/a> and their Focus on Goal 5, Gender Equality. Using the content in these lesson plans, teachers around the world are able to reach out to a new generation and help them stand up and embrace their part.
\nAchieving Gender Equality is ambitious, to be sure, and perhaps the first step is to know where you stand. Get to know those who are in important roles, starting in your own community and all the way up to your national representatives.
\n
\nLet\u2019s elevate that conversation.
\nFrom Where I Stand <\/a><\/strong>
\nView the application here: (https:\/\/worldslargestlesson.globalgoals.org\/FromWhereIStand<\/a>)
\nBased on the Crowdsource Story Map Template<\/a> we developed an application that allows for anyone to complete a survey and view a gender ratio representative of their community influencers and decision makers, both local and national.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nUsers are encouraged to complete the survey, view their ratio and then share their results on social media. We will be creating a global ratio, raising awareness to Gender Equality.
