In the eleventh issue of The Blue Dot, we focus on ‘Kindness’ – as the force that will help us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, towards making the world more peaceful and sustainable – a better place to live in the future for our children. We hear from Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, Minister of Human Resource Development, Government of India on ‘The Need for Kindness and Compassion – Embodying the values of Mahatma Gandhi’, experts such as Zoran Josipovic on the neuroscience behind kindness; Michael Karlin and Brendran Ozawa-De Silve on the science and theory behind kindness, and from educators (Vicki Zakrzewski and John-Tyler Binfet) on how kindness can be practiced in our classrooms.

Our cover story on ‘Kindness – the force to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals’ discusses the biology of kindness, how kindness can help us achieve the SDGs and Kindness and SDGs and the Youth. Further, we have a hand-picked collection of youth stories on kindness, extracted from the 7,300+ stories we have from 120 countries around the world as part of UNESCO MGIEP’s #KindnessMatters for the SDGs youth campaign.
