Metamorphosis Experimental Film: Raising Awareness for the Sustainable Development Goals

 

In 2015, the United Nations launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global call to action to tackle poverty, protect the planet, and promote peace and prosperity by 2030. These 17 goals are interconnected, underscoring the need for balanced social, economic, and environmental growth. From eradicating hunger and poverty to fighting discrimination, the SDGs aim to uplift everyone, especially the most vulnerable.

Metamorphosis is an experimental film project designed to raise awareness of these goals through art and animation. This module guides you through creating a visual story that communicates the impact and importance of one SDG.
