CONSIDERATIONS OF USE

This report is divided into three sections The first provides an overview of the knowledge that youth workers and young people from Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Spain perceive they have about the 2030 Agenda, the SDGs, media literacy and audiovisual literacy.

The second section provides a brief overview of the guidelines, legislations, and action plans that, from 2013 to 2022, the governments of Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Spain have implemented to contribute to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs In addition, it also shows which national institution is responsible for ensuring these commitments.

In the third and last section, a list of questions is offered so that youth workers can generate various activities for reflection among young people on the data shown in the previous two sections.

This document has been designed after a learning process among six Ibero American organizations Therefore, it is not intended to be a rigid path, nor to be considered as the only truth. On the contrary, youth workers are free to use this report according to the context in which they find themselves, the characteristics of their youth groups and the knowledge they want to generate

INTRODUCTION

In 2015, UN member states approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and implementation principles, which represent the vision we should aspire to and achieve by 2030

Following this commitment, six entities joined forces to create the "SDG Film Festival" project with the aim of promoting Ibero American cooperation that contributes to the 2030 Agenda and the Youth Pact 2030 To achieve the above, this initiative succeeded in: 1. 2. 3.

Promote the understanding and achievement of the SDGs among youth workers and young people. Increase the media and audiovisual literacy competences of both youth workers and young people

Generate innovative intellectual practices and results that promote the 2030 Agenda through audiovisual content

This report has been designed to serve exactly the three purposes mentioned above To support professionals to improve their capacities to raise awareness and transmit, through media and audiovisual literacy, about the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. As well as to reinforce young people's understanding of the relevance of the 2030 Agenda, so that they can become promoters of the SDGs in their localities.

Based on literature research, the project partners developed a multiple choice Google Form survey to identify the knowledge that youth workers and young people had about the 2030 Agenda, the SDGs, media and audiovisual literacy.

The survey was active from March to April 2021 and was able to collect responses from 322 participants Within this document, the contents have been divided to know the study sample, the perceptions of youth workers, people's knowledge and a comparison between the four countries of the project: Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Spain. The results can be explored in the first section of this report

Moreover, the partners designed a template matrix to map the legislations in their respective territories from 2013 to 2022. The information identified is the title of the law/decree, year and to which SDG it is linked Likewise, within this mapping we also searched for the monitoring bodies that each country has to ensure the achievement of the 2030 Agenda The results can be explored in second section module 2 of this report.

For the third section, a series of questions were developed so that youth workers can generate a reflective process with young people about the survey data and the legislative landscape. This seeks to generate a debate on the results obtained in this project and even to question, check and generate their own surveys and mappings.

Finally, Entreculturas, Universidad de Salamanca, Gurises Unidos, Centro de Estudios Paraguayos Padre Antonio Guasch, Federación Internacional de Fe y Alegría y BB&R deeply and sincerely believe that you will find this document useful and practical in your daily work with young people

Sincerely yours,

The entire SDG Film Festival team

Countrycomparisons

Regarding the degree of knowledge of the SDGs, the same pattern is observed in the countries analyzed, with youth workers reporting the highest degree of knowledge, with the exception of Colombia, where young people report a higher degree of knowledge of the SDGs. In addition, it is worth noting that this degree of knowledge is higher in the case of youth workers in Paraguay.

More than half of young people in Uruguay have a complete lack of knowledge of the SDGs This percentage is also high in the case of young people in Paraguay

DEBRIEFING

Reflecting on what we have read in this document seems to be a fundamental part of the process of better understanding and comprehending the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs. Especially when the target group is young people, since giving them space to reflect on these issues will allow them to be aware of their learning, record what they have learned and communicate their learning to their peers.

For all of the above reasons, below we propose a series of questions that you can use to generate these reflections in young people:

Having seen the survey results, what have you learned? What surprised you most about the results of the survey?

If you were to ask these same questions in your community, do you think you would get the same results? Reason your answer Why do you think there were differences in the responses between the four project countries? How would you communicate the results of the survey to your friends? If you had to add one more question to the survey about the 2030 Agenda, the SDGs and media and audiovisual literacy, what would it be?

LEGISLATIONS

What surprised you most about the timeline of your country's legislation? Before reading this document, did you know any of the legislations of your country that have been mentioned? Which ones did you know, which ones didn't...

What has helped you to become familiar with these laws or what has hindered you in the one/s you did not know?

Since the approval of the legislation in your country, do you consider that it has changed the lives of young people in the following areas:

Quality Education Gender Equality Decent Employment

Reduction of Inequalities Climate Action Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

How would you communicate the timeline of your country's legislation to your friends?
