Building Sustainable Communities

The main focus of this project is to address the lack of awareness and knowledge about sustainable development, particularly in regards to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and to provide citizens with the skills and knowledge necessary to actively contribute to sustainable development efforts. This includes the ability to identify salient problems, elaborate innovative solutions, and involve decision makers in the process of localising SDGs to address specific needs of local communities. Recent momentum in sustainable development has emphasised the importance of localising SDGs, which requires the active participation of both governments and citizens. However, there is currently a lack of understanding among citizens on how to effectively engage in this process. This is exacerbated by the absence of university and academic programs focused on SDGs and their practical applications. The available education opportunities around this subject are mostly limited to a set group of stakeholders such as the governmental and non-governmental actors. The project aims to address this issue by increasing awareness and understanding of sustainable development, providing educational resources, training, networking opportunities, and promoting community engagement. By doing so, the project aims to drive progress towards achieving the SDGs and creating a more sustainable future.
