Introduction The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries. In the eTwinning project G.A.M.E. we debated the ways in which people can achieve these goals. We analyzed these objectives, asked ourselves many questions and tried to find answers, solutions, ways of action that we or the authorities can fulfill.

Working mode: The students worked collaboratively in three international teams, using Google Docs, Google Forms, Google Sheets, Canva. The teachers presented the 17 sustainable development goals to the students. The students chose, by voting in Google Forms, the most important areas where action should be taken faster, from their point of view. Thus, 9 of the 17 objectives were chosen for in-depth/extended study. For each objective, the students created a list of questions, using Google form. The answers were collected in excel sheets, which were the basis for creating graphs in Excel, Canva or GeoGebra. The interpretation of the graphs, proposed solutions followed in the comments attached to them. This e-book is the final product of this activity. It brings together all the collaborative presentations made by the students.
