Young people - Get ready to engage with world leaders!
Complementing the Ages of Globalization course, a series of online live dialogues will offer an unprecedented opportunity for students to directly engage with world leaders and UN officials. Moderated by Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, as well as select guest moderators, the discussions will focus on how to solve the biggest challenges of our time, from peace and security to climate change, poverty, inequalities, environmental sustainability, and artificial intelligence.
Preparing tomorrow's changemakers
Students will be at the forefront of global discussions, inspiring them to become the change makers of tomorrow. With tailor-made learning materials, live one-hour online dialogues, an interactive forum and social media campaigns, students will widen their global awareness, foster critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills, and build confidence to become local leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Tackling complex sustainable development challenges
The dialogue series will focus on the biggest global challenges of our time and with the SDGs as a compass to identify concrete ways for young people to take action for
a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.
World leaders and young people will discuss how humanity can achieve PEACE & SECURITY, tackle CLIMATE CHANGE, end POVERTY, provide QUALITY EDUCATION for all, make FOOD & AGRICULTURE sustainable, transform GLOBAL HEALTH, unleash the power of DIVERSITY & INCLUSION and GENDER EQUALITY, harness DIGITIZATION & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE for the common good, and unlock the potential of GREEN ENERGY and ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.
