She mentions Runnymede's Our Migration Story

The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (aka SDGs or 'Global Goals') are 17 goals that came out of a worldwide consultation (including input from the global public) and that followed on from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The latter focused more on the so-called 'developing' world but, as Penny mentions, the SDGs are aimed at every country and acknowledge that more must be done to reduce inequalities, poverty etc. in all countries. They are also used by many educators and offer a useful, accessible framework for engaging educators and pupils alike with global social, political and environmental issues. If you live in Scotland, you may like to join the SDG Network Scotland (for FREE) as an organisation or individual.

Decolonisation of the Curriculum was mentioned and Penny explained how she would describe it. Here's another from SOAS University and another from Lisa Williams of ECA here. 

Finally, here's a link to Ikigai, which Josh mentioned from Penny's SDG article.
