Think Big. Start Small. Act Fast. – Global Goals Jam!
The Global Goals Jam is a two-day hands-on event where you will meet like-minded students to ideate, brainstorm and prototype ideas based on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Global Goals Jam is happening world-wide in 23 cities on September 15 and 16. This year we will host this event for the very first time in the DesignLab, opening up to students from Enschede.
We will focus on five of in total 17 ambitious goals:
Bright young minds from various fields will work in groups on the goal of their choosing. Each goal will be connected to a challenge, designed in close cooperation with Lemonaid, O&H Concepts, UNICEF and Province of Overijssel.
This is your chance to step up and make an impact to make our world more sustainable. Think big and start small. Join the Global Goals Jam and add your solution to the growing idea cloud of the United Nations.
