Next steps: What to do with the results?

Celebrate, Share and Enrich

After receiving your results, there are 3 steps we encourage you to take:
Celebrate, Share and Enrich.

How to celebrate:

Celebrate what your partners have done and achieved;
Celebrate your achievements with the communities;
Celebrate during international key dates such as Christmas;
Celebrate during Sunday services to express our thanks to God;
Create a SDG celebration week connected to the themes in the church;
Publish pictures and information about the SDG actions and results online;
Organize workshops/forums/seminars to promote SDGs;
Organize a special SDG Sunday to raise awareness.

With whom to share the results:

Communities and beneficiaries;
Government;
Academic institutions;
Regional or global networks;
Faith-based organisations (FBOs) and other actors;
UN agencies such as UNHCR or UNICEF;
Ecumenical actors;
Youth, schools.

How to enrich the existing work:

Educate further, empower the teachers;
Learn what other churches/ faith actors are doing and get inspired from good examples;
Create online trainings;
Learn more about the SDG targets and indicators;
Organize awareness raising for the parishes;
Explore more theological linkages with SDGs and share them with the community.

Whichever steps choose to take next, remember to add that activity to your work plan.
