The event aims at highlighting the critical role of younger generations in addressing local and global challenges, particularly in these complex times derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, to advance the 2030 Agenda with innovative ideas and solutions. Students have been role models on campuses and beyond, to show how small-scale projects can make a significant contribution to the SDGs. We will hear stories from students at different UNAI member institutions and alumni of the UNAI-MCN Fellowship Program.
