As an interconnected and interdependent global community, we only have 9 years left to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented mobilization of the energy and skills of the youth, so this workshop is focused on scaling up your impact, challenging you to design projects specifically for your local communities and generating actionable outcomes.
