SDGzine Special Edition SE06: GTI Summer School 2022

Out now!

The SDG Summer School is a one-month intensive team-based innovation program, inspired by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs, that were launched by the UN in 2015. To achieve these goals, we need to enable today’s youth to play an active and meaningful role in tackling them. That’s what the SDG Summer School is all about.

The motivation of the SDG Summer School is for teams of university students, in close collaboration with International Organizations in Geneva, to conceive ways to use open data, crowdsourcing technologies, and low-cost open source solutions to achieve concrete steps towards achieving the SDGs, at a local, regional or global level.
The SDG Summer School is based on team-based problem solving and hands-on prototype development, going from a conception phase to producing practical demos. All accepted participants receive intensive mentoring and coaching to help transform their ideas into impactful projects and become part of a global community of civic innovators.
