How to continue education during a pandemic? Focus on the power of teachers and students
The precise effects of COVID-19 on development are not clear yet. It is clear, though, that the effects of the pandemic on development will be felt for a long time. Therefore, it is important to be proactive and assess what we can do now, to prevent the worst negative outcomes of the virus. This article gives recommendations with the small island state Trinidad and Tobago as main focus.
Standby Students: Documentary ‘Disillusioned by the virus – Impact of Covid-19 on education’
The Coronavirus pandemic has left students’ graduation postponed for next year and consequently endangers their future jobs prospects.
Bridging the widening gap in education between the poor and the rich during and in the wake of Covid-19 with a focus on Kenya
In spite of the pandemic we cannot neglect the importance of pursuing the SDG’s. The pandemic has a negative effect on development with risks of possible increase in poverty, hunger, gender inequality and lack of access to quality education for all. Immediate efforts are done to prevent hunger and people getting sick focused on short-term consequences of the pandemic. However, the long-term effects of the pandemic cannot be ignored. If we don’t take measures now, there will be increased inequality among other things. One reason for that is the challenge to continue education (for marginalized communities).

Icare Sustainably leads the new generation to become sustainability leaders
Youth Empowerment
Icare’s aim is to empower young people with great ideas from marginalized communities. By mentoring them, the youth start projects in their own communities considering environmental and social sustainability.
Youth empowerment and leadership is crucial to reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The youth builds the future, it is up to us to enable them to do it in a sustainable and environmental-friendly way.
Icare's objective is to create a sustainable future for marginalized communities
An example of Icare’s current projects
Icare Digital academy
Icare is developing a series of digital resources to inspire and aid youth from marginalized communities and grassroot NGOs to do their work better.
We have discovered many have important ideas, but they lack access to digital sources or funding streams. Icare is mentoring them how to develop a project and to access the global network.
The end goal is to have a digital academy where anyone can learn those vital skills. Currently, we are mapping the needs and capacity of such an academy. Do you want to help us? Fill in the survey below
SDG4Schools & SDG4Universities
The SDG for schools project was launched at Hill School Primary in Eldoret in 2019, Kenya. The project aims to encourage students to be aware, to care, to share, and help support the achievement of the SDGs. At the end of the project, students start their own project to reach the SDGs in their own community. An example of that is planting trees at Hill School Primary.
In 2020 Icare has started work to take the project to universities. The aim is to increase awareness of the SDG among university youth and to mentor them to start a project combining livelihoods and SDGs. The aim is to give youth perspective for employment after university.
Webinar series youth empowerment
Together with a team from South-East Asia, Icare is conducting a webinar series. The title of the series is:
‘‘Responsible youth leadership inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals’
The aim is to motivate youth to consider the SDGs when building their careers. Also, we teach youth involved in NGO work how to do their work best.
Topics of the webinars are finding a mentor, mental health, project development and more. Find a recording of our first webinar together with JCI Dhaka Cosmopolitan on our youtube channel.
