Awareness-raising Event on SDGs
International Youth Council Yemen (IYCY) held an awareness campaign on the sustainable development goals today September 19, 2018. The event coincides with the international ACT4SDGS campaign. The event targeted 55 participants from youth who interested in sustainable development. The event was held in the youth tent – Sana’a.

The event began with a general definition of the 17 goals and the history of sustainable development goals. Each goal was then explained with its indicators, and how to make them achievable by 2030.

In order for the event to be more effective, the participants were divided into groups to carry out activities and propose sustainable projects and reflect what they get from the event to their lives and experiences, and the results were positive as each group presented a goal and the proposals were presented to all participants.

Finally, participants were introduced to UN groups and organizations that support the achievement of sustainable development goals.

IYCY is concerned in achieving sustainable development goals and helps raise awareness of sustainable development goals, because it is important to shape the future of the world.
