The 17 Sustainable Development Goals agreed upon by all 193 United Nations Member States aim to end poverty, ensure prosperity and protect the planet. Thomas & Friends have collaborated with the UN to teach children and parents about 6 of these Global Goals. On this site, you will find video Life Lessons from our favorite blue engine, Thomas, as well as Parent Tips with activities to help talk to young children about why achieving these Goals is important for everyone in the world.

About Thomas & Friends:
Based on a series of children's books, Thomas & Friends features Thomas the Tank Engine adventures with other locomotives on the island of Sodor. Thomas often gets into trouble, but never gives up on trying to be a really useful engine. Other members of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway include: Percy (Thomas' best friend), and Gordon (the fastest and most powerful member of the team).

To better portray diversity, Thomas & Friends is getting an update for its 26 x 11-minute 22nd season! Entitled Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures!, the new season will take Thomas beyond the fictional Island of Sodor for the first time. The major refresh will see the iconic blue engine Thomas traveling farther than ever before, taking kids on a journey of wonder and curiosity as he adventures around the world to discover and learn about new countries and cultures. The show has a more contemporary feel, a brand-new theme tune and a refreshed Steam Team to include three girls and three boy engines, and Thomas, ensuring gender equality across the show, increasing global appeal for preschool viewers. This all-new format series will feature faster-paced action, increased humor, new music, new international friends, animals and exciting fantasy elements.

Thomas & Friends season 22, "Big World! Big Adventures!" is airing NOW on Milkshake! in the UK and will start Friday 7th September 2018 on Nickelodeon USA, with launches planned in other markets across the globe throughout the fall.
