SUMMARY:SDGs Student Awareness Wake-Day @ University of Ghana (in person event)
DESCRIPTION:The level of sustainability education and action on climate change in Ghana has been tepid over the past two years\, and the advancement of the country’s climate commitments is happening at a slow pace. The impending impacts continue to undo many development efforts and deepen poverty levels. Henceforward\, the goal of the SDGs Students Awareness Day is to develop an in-depth action plan to ramp up actions in the area of sustainable development both on campus and outside campus. The event includes a Sustainable Development Movie Screening\, Dialogue\, and a Vision board Creative Action. It will be student-led event at the University of Ghana. The identified venue is a conference facility at Alexander Kwapong Hall.  Our key objective is to exploit the use of problem tree analysis and development of solution tools by understanding the problem in-depth\, visualizing the links between the main problem\, analyzing the root cause\, and designing effective strategies for action. \nThe lead organization is the Sustainability Week Accra\, partners include AIESEC\, Youth Action Movement and Amnesty International chapter at the University of Ghana.\nFacilitators include\, Queen Murjanatu Attah\, Nii Noi Omaboe\, Jeffrey Adusei and others \n12:00-14:00 GMT

SUMMARY:Together|Ensemble Panel Discussion: Reflecting on SDG Reporting in Higher Education Institutions

SUMMARY:SDGs and PEOPLES in a Region: Strategic OUTSTEPS for Students into a Career of Matching Interests and Expertise
DESCRIPTION:Since the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by all United Nations Member States in 2015\, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been used to form collaborations between various stakeholders\, rightsholders\, and industries with multiple levels of government. Ranging from international\, national\, state\, and local to even neighborhood and family-scale\, the main challenges lie in forming multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural partnerships with individuals giving their best to collaborate across disciplinary\, cultural\, and administrative borders. A crucial step in creating these collaborations is the education and integration of the next generation of students that have to carefully navigate the stormy waters of past historical realities\, current limitations\, and future looming crises. The speaker will share strategies for students to analyze and prepare themselves for careers in a field that bridges industry\, administration\, and government. To successfully link\, integrate and develop future collaborations linking PEOPLES’ interests and expertise requires one to step out of conventional procedures. The speaker led the development of the OUTSTEPS.org network in creating a regional network of expertise and knowledge to work on sustainability and community resilience and will describe how students can create their future careers in this field of work. \n  \nPresenter: Chris Renschler\, Professor of Geography at the University at Buffalo\, Fulbright Scholar and Director of OUTSTEPS.org \n  \nTO JOIN: https://buffalo.zoom.us/j/99620187530?pwd=NVMrZ1dTUkNkOVd0OGVnZmEvMkkyQT09 \nMeeting ID: 996 2018 7530\nPasscode: 56624877

SUMMARY:Campaña Mundial por la Educación: llamada a la acción por el ODS 4 / Global Campaign on Education: Call for action for de SDG4 (IN SPANISH; 11:00 AM -12:15 PM CET)
DESCRIPTION:4-03-2022 11:00 AM -12:15 PM Madrid (CET) \n¡La educación está en crisis! En esta sesión\, desde la Campaña Mundial por la Educación (CME) en España\, haremos una revisión del estatus actual del ODS4 (por el Derecho a la Educación)\, y veremos los impactos y retos que ha supuesto la pandemia\, utilizando dinámicas interactivas. Llamando a la acción para lograr alcanzar el ODS 4 en los ocho años que quedan por delante hasta el 2030\, presentaremos la Campaña\, cuáles son nuestras líneas de trabajo\, nuestras demandas y acciones en la defensa del derecho a la educación. Las personas participantes podréis también inspiraros conociendo la experiencia de una joven activista de la CME en Galicia\, que ella misma os contará. \nUn poco de contexto…\nHablamos de una emergencia sin precedentes. En esta vuelta al cole\, en septiembre de 2021 (más de un año y medio después del inicio de la pandemia)\, UNESCO alertaba que 117 millones de alumnos y alumnas\, el 7\,5 % de la población escolar mundial\, seguían viéndose afectadas por el cierre total de escuelas. Aún a fecha de hoy sigue habiendo países donde las escuelas permanecen cerradas.\nLa pandemia no ha hecho sino agravar los retos en el acceso a una educación equitativa\, inclusiva y de calidad para todas las personas y ha puesto en evidencia las crecientes desigualdades. Quienes se encontraban en situación de vulnerabilidad social o económica\, han visto reducidas sus posibilidades de acceso\, permanencia y disfrute en una educación de calidad y equitativa. Sin embargo\, en este contexto de emergencia\, la comunidad educativa ha tenido que adaptarse\, mostrando una vez más el papel fundamental de la educación y de los y las docentes en la construcción de sociedades equitativas y sostenibles. \nGarantizar una educación inclusiva\, equitativa y de calidad y promover oportunidades de aprendizaje durante toda la vida para todos (ODS4) es la base de la transformación social para la generación de soluciones globales y el cambio sistémico\, donde el bienestar de las personas y del planeta están en el centro. Así\, lograr el ODS 4 es imprescindible para la consecución del resto de objetivos de la Agenda 2030.\nPor todo ello\, es imprescindible contar con la participación de todos nosotros y nosotras. ¡Trabajando conjuntamente avanzaremos en lograr que la educación de calidad para todas las personas sea por fin una realidad! \nKasia Tusiewicz – Coordinadora de la Campaña Mundial por la Educación en España\nElena Rua Arruñada – Miembro del Equipo de Coordinación estatal de la CME en España\nPatricia Meléndez Luces – Joven activista en la Campaña Mundial por la Educación en Galicia \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85496873672?pwd=N3c2Z2g1bGRLRkF6dlNPT3Q0RDFJdz09  \nPasscode: 220130

SUMMARY:Empowering Students for Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:10:00-11:00 am GMT \nThis event is focused on increasing SDG awareness among students from Central University in Ghana. There is a huge gap in the area of climate education\, and integrating climate or environmental knowledge in national education curriculum. Prior to this\, there persist to be low knowledge about the impending impacts of climate change\, and the need to take actions now. More so\, localizing information around SDGs persist to enable grassroots individual to comprehend and take individual actions also seeks to be a hurdle in the Ghanaian community. Henceforward\, Sustainability Week Central\, a local sustainability week group within the international network of Sustainability Week International believes it is imperative to leverage on this SDGs A & A week to raise a massive awareness within our local campus. \nOrganizer: Central University in Ghana \nPresenters: \n• Nii Noi Kofi Omaboe\, staff and climate activist\, United Nations Development Programme\, Ghana. \n• Andrews Nii Martey\, environmental activist and HR enthusiast\, central university\, Ghana \n  \nLINK TO JOIN VIA ZOOM COMING SOON \n10:00-11:00 am GMT

SUMMARY:17 Rooms: A new way to take practical next steps for the Sustainable Development Goals
DESCRIPTION:This event will introduce the 17 Rooms initiative and workshop the 17 Rooms process for a university context.Co-convened by the Brookings Institution and The Rockefeller Foundation since 2018\, 17 Rooms is a new approach to spurring collective action for the SDGs. Participants form working groups (or “Rooms”)\, one per SDG\, and propose specific\, practical next steps that can be achieved in 12-18 months to make progress for each. Action proposals are shared across Rooms to spot opportunities for cross-SDG collaboration that might bubble up. \nUniversities have been first-movers in adopting and adapting the “17 Rooms-X” process\, finding it a powerful device to (i) raise SDG-awareness\, (ii) make the SDGs practical and approachable\, (iii) catalyze new campus and community partnerships\, and (iii) align university-wide research\, teaching\, and strategic initiatives with the SDGs. Participants in this event will (i) learn the basics of the 17 Rooms process\, (ii) be invited to join the 17 Rooms-X Community of Practice and (iii) gain access to the 17 Rooms-X “beta toolkit.” \nLearn more about 17 Rooms: https://www.brookings.edu/project/17-rooms/ \nPlease register for this event ahead of time to help us design and tailor the event. \nPRE-REGISTER for the event at: https://airtable.com/shre6g8hDhflSVfci \nPanelists include: \nJacob Taylor\, Senior Project Manager\, 17 Rooms Initiative\, Center for Sustainable Development\, Brookings Institution\nShrijana Khanal\, Project Coordinator\, 17 Rooms Initiative\, Center for Sustainable Development\, Brookings Institution\nJason Ens\, Executive Director\, Academic Policy\, Planning\, and Strategic Initiatives\, Concordia University\nJudit Ungvari\, Research and Innovation Officer\, Institute for a Sustainable Earth\, George Mason University\nHeather Kincaide\, Director\, International\, Queen’s University
