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.

  • Review of the history of sustainable development, the structure of the SDGs (17 goals, 169 targets, 232 indicators), and examples of each of the 17 SDGs implemented by a variety of stakeholders.

  • Guest speakers from the United Nations sharing how their agency or department underwent a transformation to implement the holistic SDGs in partnership with its communities.

  • Review examples of SDGs implementation by young people across Canada and around the world.

  • Small group sessions - taskforces - to develop an action plan for a specific and concrete way to implement the SDGs in the community and/or on campus.




Included in the registration fee:

  • 7-day pre training information

  • SDG training program

  • Certificate of completion

  • Lunch and snacks throughout the day

  • Networking opportunities


Guest Speaker, Gary Fowlie:

Gary Fowlie served as the first Head of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Liaison Office to the United Nations. The ITU is the specialized agency of the UN responsible for information and communication technology.
While at the United Nations, Mr. Fowlie led a UN inter-agency effort to ensure that science, technology and innovation were adopted as key catalysts for the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). His work focused on information and communication technology (ICT) targets in the areas of education, gender equality, infrastructure (universal and affordable access to the internet) and as a means of implementation across all 17 sustainable development goals. The UN sustainable development agenda, an agreed blueprint for sustainable development in all nations, came into effect on 1 January 2016. It recognizes ‘global connectivity and ICTs as having great potential for human progress.’
Prior to joining the UN and ITU, Mr. Fowlie worked as an Account Director for the global technology practice of the consulting firm Hill and Knowlton. At the United Nations he was responsible for the communications and marketing strategy for the first UN World Summit on the Information Society in 2003. From 2005-2009 he occupied the post of Chief of Media Liaison for the United Nations in New York. He was also a journalist for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and The Economist.
