1. Welcome to the Millennium Development Goals on line taster course

This is an opportunity for you to learn in your own time, at your own pace, and in the comfort
of your own home.

This taster looks at the following questions:

• What are the Millennium Development Goals? (MDGs)
• Why do we need them?
• How effective are the MDGs in fighting inequality across the world?

This taster involves you in reading some short texts, watching a couple of You Tube videos and thinking about some questions on the topic. There is a list of useful websites and links to other related taster courses.

We hope you enjoy the course!
