ALL ABOARD FOR GLOBAL GOALS!
Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends has been a true friend and group of friends to so many kiddies for almost 36+ years in production but almost 70+ years as a beloved creation from the original books of English author Wilbert Vere Awdry. WOW!
With Thomas’ signature and recognizable bright blue and red color, his adventures with his diverse friends on the Island of Sodor, and his many other adventures; we have learned so much about being a friend. We have also learned valuable lessons about being honest, polite, kind, responsible, humble, brave, and a team player, while also being a hard worker.
Thomas & Friends (Mattel, Inc.) teamed up with the United Nations to help introduce and teach about the Sustainable Development Goals to pre-school audiences! Thomas & Friends will highlight 5 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals into nine episodes of the 26 episodes of the animated season of Thomas & Friends on Nick Jr.
Along with these episodes. Thomas & Friends will provide resources on the website on other Goals, focusing on Goals 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, and 15. These resources will provide materials that engage preschoolers and assist parents with starting conversations and efforts around the global efforts to end poverty, provide both girls and boys with the same opportunities, and do it all, while protecting the planet.
Sustainable Development Goals are the result of a collaborative effort between nation-states and they were formulated around the knowledge that these are achievable goals if we work together!
