The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Multipliers Handbook offers a detailed description of how to prepare, promote and facilitate an SDGs Training of Multipliers or an SDG implementation workshop using Gaia Education’s SDGs Implementation Flashcards.

The intention behind offering this handbook is to make it easy for participants in a SDG Training of Multipliers to step into the role of a multiplier and to feel confident in offering trainings and implementation workshops to their business team, in their organisation, in local community centres and town halls, or in schools and universities.

The well structured training flow (as detailed in the handbook) along with the flashcards enable facilitators to let the participants — who know more about their particular context than the facilitator might — do most of the creative work. The role of the facilitator is more to set people up to have these co-creative conversations and help them harvest and deepen into strategies to implement the results of their creative SDG brainstorming.

The handbook outlines who the training is for, how it can be adapted to different contexts, a training materials check-list, how to set up the workshop space, and desired outcomes for the training.

The handbook contains two detailed workshop scripts for a day-long and a half-day SDGs Training of Multipliers/SDG implementation workshops. Each with a step-by-step list of what exercises to facilitate in what sequence and how to do so. In addition to that the handbook has recently been updated to also include further instructions and guidance on how to adapt and use the materials in schools, universities and with local public bodies (e.g. local councils, community groups, but also NGOs, and SMEs).
