Description
The University of Manitoba and the Foundation for Environmental Stewardship (FES) are pleased to present the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Youth Training Canada in Winnipeg!
Build your resume with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Youth Training certificate!
On Sept 25, 2015, 193 countries unanimously adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by framing their agendas and political policies over the next 15 years to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. The SDG Youth Training Canada program aims to engage youth from across Canada to take action toward to SDGs.
So far, the SDGs Youth Training Canada mobilized 5,900+ students from 77 post-secondary institutions at 32 trainings across Canada. The University of Manitoba and Winnipeg are up next!
The training session will feature the following:
-
7-day video course, each 3-5 mins long, before attending the training to get a basic sense of what the SDGs are.
