See the video recording below:   Summary This [Transformative Teachers webinar](https://learn.trinitycollege.co.uk/ttw) had a dual focus – to encourage participants to teach a language creatively whilst at the same time raising students’ awareness of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By bringing together a range of innovative ideas for teaching creatively and addressing these key themes, a series of activities that seek to mobilize students’ creative thinking was demonstrated. The webinar also highlighted how the language classroom can serve as an incubator for students’ awareness of the need to ensure the sustainable development of their community through their own personal and collective efforts.   About the presenter Manuela Kelly Calzini is an experienced teacher and teacher trainer and has worked in EFL Education and Continuing Professional Development Programmes for over 25 years.
