Applications are open for the UNESCO Clubs Worldwide Youth Multimedia Competition 2022. USFUCA, UNESCO Center for Peace, World Genesis Foundation, and WhizJuniors invite youth around the world to take part in this year’s Multimedia Competition.
Unparalleled connectivity put youth in one of the greatest positions to bring much needed change to the world. UNESCO’s mission is to mobilize the optimism of youth to respond to an acute world problem to serve others now. Last year, motivated participants from over 81 countries submitted over 5000 projects in this highly rewarding contest.
2022 Question
The SDGs 2020 Report makes clear, the world is not on track to achieve the goals by 2030. Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, progress had been slow. Six years after the approval of the 2030 Agenda, the average of the SDG Index in the region shows modest advances in the goals set.
How is your region fairing when it comes to SDGs to date? From your perspective, in your country, what is an issue that is hindering the success of ONE of the SDGs goals? What would be a real solution you could develop for your community/country to help ensure success by 2030. Make sure you tell them what SDG goal you are focusing on.
