We believe that we can enable today\u2019s youth to play an active and meaningful role in tackling these goals, through intensive hands-on team-based innovation challenges. In the SDG Summer School, teams of university students, in close collaboration with International Organisations in Geneva, conceive ways to use crowdsourcing technologies and low-cost open-source hardware and software solutions to achieve concrete steps towards the SDGs, at a local, regional or global level. The SDG Solution Space contains a fully equipped Fab lab with digital fabrication technologies.<\/p>\n In the 2021 edition of the SDG Summer School, we are looking to build on the achievements of previous generations of students who have worked on Open Source Health Solutions, including:<\/p>\n All accepted participants will receive intensive mentoring and coaching to help transform these early-stage prototypes into impactful solutions and will become part of a global online community of young civic innovators.<\/p>\n The SDG Summer School will begin with a 3-days fast-track Innovation Bootcamp training.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n The SDG Summer School includes, to the extent Covid restrictions permit, interactions with UN Agencies, International Organisations, NGOs, and other partnering organisations in Geneva.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Contact us” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n For all inquiries about the 2021 SDG Summer School,

In September 2015, world leaders committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. 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 organizations, to conceive ways to use open data, crowdsourcing technologies, and low-cost open source solutions to tackle sustainable development.<\/p> The SDG Summer School is all about 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.\u00a0Study visits to UN Agencies, International Organizations, NGOs and other partnering organizations in Geneva will be organized.<\/span><\/p> This year's Summer School will take place from 1 to 26 July in Geneva, Switzerland<\/strong><\/p> This year\u2019s Summer School is inspired by the challenge of SCALING EDUCATION FOR THE SDGS.
