ABOUT
The SDGs are an international and inclusive framework for solving the biggest challenges of our time. Global Citizenship Education (GCED) plays a key role in preparing the younger generation and giving them the necessary tools to build a sustainable future in which humanity and the environment can both thrive. To support this, the BKMC secretariat in Vienna offers interactive workshops on global citizenship and the SDGs throughout the year.
During these workshops, the BKMC shares its expertise on global citizenship and the SDGs as well as up to date information gathered from various international conferences on GCED. The workshops offer a space for the participants to share their insights on how global citizenship relates to their lives and they are encouraged to come up with ideas for how they can act effectively for the realization of the SDGs. In 2019, 100 children and young adults ranging from ages 12 to 30 were able to benefit from this educational format.
