Over the next 15 years, governments will strive to achieve goals such as ending extreme poverty, fighting inequality and tackling climate change. To achieve these goals, we need to enable today\u2019s youth to play an active and meaningful role in tackling the SDGs. The motivation of the SDG Summer School is for teams of University students, in close collaboration with UN organisations, to conceive ways to use open data, crowdsourcing technologies, and low-cost open source solutions to tackle sustainable development in ways that even schoolchildren can participate in, and develop prototypes suitable for deployment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gt-initiative.org\/education-programs\/summer-school\/summer-school-2021\/\"><span style=\"color: #e02b20;\">Summer School 2021<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(244,243,232,0.39)&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/212580849\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.18.7&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; global_module=&#8221;29221&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Several ways to join<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The SDG Summer School targets primarily undergraduate (bachelor) students coming from universities worldwide.

The overarching goal is to impact school-based science classes, by enabling tomorrow\u2019s innovators to participate actively in tackling some of the world\u2019s biggest challenges, today. Mentors from UN organisations in Geneva provide exciting challenges and extensive field experience. This focus is inspired by Jean Piaget, father of the field of child developmental psychology. Piaget, who worked at University of Geneva for 50 years, encouraged several generations of educators to embrace a challenge-based mode of learning, which is at the heart of the crowdsourced creativity that this programme seeks to foster.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243;]<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/0h51ctlnv.preview.infomaniak.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/gti-ss.jpg&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.23&#8243;]<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(244,243,232,0.39)&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||30px|&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.18.7&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; global_module=&#8221;29221&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Previous editions<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The SDG Summer School is constantly evolving.
