Education & Innovation for Sustainable Future

Hunger, discrimination, migration and climate change are some of the global challenges humanity faces today. The United Nations Office at Geneva  (UNOG) and its partners address each of these issues when they issued the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a guideline.

Through an installation of scenes and fairy tale characters taken from the book, “Fairy Tales for a Fairer World,” visitors will be able to discover the issues addressed in the storybook and learn about the SDGs while journeying through the different book scenes. The aim is to not only highlight some of the current global challenges, but to show the importance of the work done to in Geneva to address these issues.

During "Education and Innovation for Sustainable Future", an open special event on July the 18th, several speakers will share their stories of overcoming challenges, growing and initiating projects. Each one of them has contributed to building awareness within their communities and taken steps towards positive change.
