13 Sep 2021

It’s time for SDG Action Day 2021, and this time it is not one, but two days!

On Friday 24^th September 2021 there will be a virtual plenary programme and workshops, and on Saturday, 25^th September, the programme will move out into the country and local partners will organize on-site activities.

With the theme ‘Creating an SDG Movement Together’, this year’s focus is also on local actions that contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive society. How can we strengthen, connect, scale up and make these actions more visible?

The program focuses on the professional network working on the SDGs, and on engaged citizens and youth.

SDG Action Day is organised by SDG Nederland, in cooperation with PwC, SDG House Amsterdam (part of KIT), Amsterdam Municipality, Global Compact Netherlands and DSGC.

KIT Royal Tropical Institute/SDG House Workshop - How to 'leave no one behind'

Workshop Round 1

13.00 – 14.30

Leaving No One Behind is the central tenet of the SDG Agenda. It represents the unequivocal commitment of all UN member states to eliminate poverty in all its forms, end discrimination and exclusion, and reduce inequalities and vulnerabilities. But how do you fit this into your organization? How do you ensure that no one is left behind in your activities? In this interactive workshop we will identify SDG Challenges in organizations and daily life.

Example challenges and solutions from the S DG Traineeship will be discussed and we will work towards actionable steps that give substance to the concept of ‘leaving no one behind’.
