• High School/Grades 9-12

Youth for Sustainable Development Goals joins American, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Tunisian high school-aged youth for collaboration on projects that address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on education quality, inequality reduction, and sustainable partnerships. Participants engage in interactive discussions to learn about the SDGs, their importance, and how they are connected to local and global communities. The program promotes a global perspective on addressing the SDGs through the exploration of historical perspectives and representation of the goals in social studies, world affairs, and the arts. Final projects, from paintings to sculptures to videos, will be featured in a digital showcase.

Activities

Participants engage in problem-based learning to co-create projects such as paintings, drawings, sculptures, presentations, or other multimedia that reflects a UN SDG and possible solutions. Synchronous and asynchronous meetings are facilitated by experts, educators, and youth leaders to increase participants’ knowledge, critical thinking, and awareness of the SDGs, specifically: SDG 4: Quality Education; SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities; and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. At the conclusion of the program, projects designed by bi-national teams are featured in a digital showcase to enhance the partnerships between participating institutions.
