The activity was conducted at SMP Negeri 44 in Palembang, involving 32 students from grades 8. The method used was an interactive lecture, delivering materials on the basic concepts of the SDGs and the importance of health in achieving sustainable goals. Additionally, students were provided with information on healthy living habits, personal hygiene, and the importance of maintaining bodily health as part of their contribution to achieving the SDGs.
