It is one thing to want to see good in the world, and another to actually make it happen. All big change begins with a small thought or initiative, and it’s usually only those that receive care, attention, and hard work that have an impact on the world.
Awareness begins at a young age, but along with this, the practical thought of making it happen must be enforced, too. Maker’s Asylum, a community space that fosters innovation, is about to open its doors to its SDG School. Focusing on the development plan based on the Sustainable Development Goals, the SDG School encourages young and willing minds to steer themselves toward creativity, collaboration, and creating solutions for our society.
It is a 10-day experiential program that takes place annually and virtually in order to be accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Through expert mentorship, upskilling, team building, networking and more, the SDG School is a powerful knowledge and practical insight-packed experience. The idea is to push people to think out of the box but in alignment with the goals that need to be achieved and in the most impactful and efficient manner possible.
“The goal of SDG School isn’t to solve the SDGs in 10 days but to teach you how to solve them. We empower participants by providing them the confidence, tools, knowledge, space, and communities they need to change the world. SDG School also teaches empathy and tolerance to participants. They learn to transcend their differences, respect each other, and find unity in a shared purpose. They become globally-conscious problem-solvers.”
— Vaibhav Chhabra, Founder, Maker's Asylum
