In partnership with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, every month, the Network hosts the SDG Youth Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to encourage Korean citizens to uphold principles of sustainability in their everyday lives. The Network communicates how to take action to achieve the SDGs.
Every month, SDSN Youth Korea invites a thought leader in the sustainability field to give a lecture with the goal of Increasing Youth’s understanding of SDGs. The program has reached 300+ Participants in South Korea
SDSN Youth Korea plans to convene its bi-annual SDG Youth Committee meeting. The committee was established to ensure solidarity and cooperation among youth groups related to SDGs. The committee comprises representatives from 42 universities and 87 organizations. The committee ensures strengthened influence through solidarity among youth groups and has established the Youth SDGs Korea
As the SDGs are unacknowledged by the public, we believed it was critical to incorporate the opinions of young people with little or no knowledge of the SDGs.
54 youth representatives from our 54 youth member organizations participated in the forum, and the content of the discussion was prepared as a 33-page report - delivered to the mayor of Seoul.
