In January, Open Fiesta in Tsinghua University Graduate School at Shenzhen hosted a five-day “Learning by Doing X SDGs” workshop, where participants did projects on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The participants have improved their previous prototypes in the past four months and this Friday, they will make presentations to show their projects. In 2015, the U.N. General Assembly set a global framework, the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, for focusing on understanding and tackling these great global challenges. With 17 categories ranging from health and education for all to the sustainable supply of clear water, food and energy, the U.N. SDGs are truly ambitious. The goals can be achieved only through the combination of global collective intelligence and the engagement of the next generations.
