What's included
Everything a school needs
51 printable lesson plans
Every goal in three age bands (6–10, 11–13, 14–17), with objectives, timings, discussion prompts and exit tickets. The three SDG 1 plans (one per age band) are free to print; all 51 are included with a licence. Plus the interactive Teacher Handbook: 34 handbook lessons for ages 9–17, opened with your school code (free during a pilot).
17 stories, one adventure
An illustrated book for each goal, plus a game where every goal is a story, a quiz and a real-world mission.
Class codes and Moodle
Your class code unlocks all 17 goals, both handbooks and every trivia level. Progress is tracked in Moodle.
Train the Trainers and a 6-hour course
Five modules on teaching the Global Goals, mapped to GreenComp and the UNESCO ESD competences, with a certificate. Free, and not externally accredited.
Two age bands
Built for primary and secondary
Stories and discovery
Illustrated books introduce each goal through narrative, empathy and critical thinking.
E-learning and action

What is free, and what needs a class code
Free, no account
The three SDG 1 lesson plans (one per age band), the ten-week scheme of work, the six-hour CPD course, the 17 goal guides, and SDG 1 in full: its game chapter, its trivia round and its video.
With licence codes (school plan)
The 17 illustrated books, goals 2–17 of the game and the trivia, the handbook missions pupils complete in class, all 51 lesson plans, the national curriculum maps, the teacher dashboard, the live quiz and the roster tools. With the quote come two licence codes: the school code (ECO-SCHOOL-…) for staff and the pupil code (ECO-PUPIL-…) for pupils.
Works with your school systems
No new accounts for pupils. Eco Heroes plugs into what a school already runs:
- LTI 1.3 Advantage for Moodle, Canvas and other LMSs: deep linking of activities, roster sync (Names and Roles) and grade passback (Assignment and Grade Services).
- Roster import from Google Classroom, a OneRoster 1.1/1.2 CSV export or a simple list of names; pupils are stored as first name and family initial only.
- Teacher sign-in with a school code, a teacher e-mail account, Google or Microsoft. One district identity provider (OpenID Connect) per deployment can be set up on request; ClassLink and Clever are not connected directly.
- Class codes: pupils play without accounts; a class code (6 letters and numbers) links their progress to your class, and the school’s pupil code (ECO-PUPIL-…) unlocks the content on their devices.
- Live quiz for the projector: a PIN to join, timed questions, answer bars and a leaderboard.
- Teacher dashboard: progress per pupil and per goal, XP, badges and missions, with CSV export.
- Data processing agreement (GDPR Article 28), EU hosting and the sub-processor list, ready in the Trust Centre.
Questions
Questions teachers ask
What does it cost?
Schools get a quote, usually within one business day. It sets out the price per year for the classes or pupils you need, what is and is not included, the start date and the terms: contract length, renewal, notice, and invoicing by purchase order or bank transfer. To try it first, ask for a free pilot: after a short request we send class codes for one or two classes.
Can teachers try it first?
Yes. SDG 1 is free with no account: its three lesson plans (one per age band), its game chapter, trivia round and video. For the rest, ask for a free pilot: send a short request and we send class codes, usually within one business day. The interactive Teacher Handbook (34 lessons), the illustrated books, all 51 lesson plans, the curriculum maps and goals 2–17 open with those codes.
What ages is it for?
Lesson plans and the games hub from age 6 (bands 6–10, 11–13 and 14–17). The adventure game, the picture books and the mission videos from age 9: Explorer (9–12) and Changemaker (13–17). Teachers and parents use it with children outside these ranges too.
Which languages?
The platform runs in 13 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Danish and Chinese. The books are published in twelve of them.
Does it work with our tools?
Yes. Eco Heroes is an LTI 1.3 Advantage tool for Moodle, Canvas and other LMSs (deep linking, roster sync, grade passback); rosters also import from Google Classroom, a OneRoster CSV or a list of names. Teachers sign in with a school code, an e-mail account, Google or Microsoft; one district identity provider (OpenID Connect) per deployment can be set up on request, and ClassLink and Clever are not connected directly. It runs in any browser, installs as an app on tablets and laptops and works offline.
