Events can be around any theme broadly related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but they must take place during the week of February 5th-11th to add to International Development Week celebrations across the country. You can host the event as an individual, or a group, in your school, university, online, in partnership with a local business. Successful candidates will receive up $300 to put towards their event.
Event objectives are to:
Create awareness of the SDGs and IDW in Atlantic Canada
Support and celebrate local youth and community members who are using innovative methods to positively impact their communities at home and/or abroad
Create opportunities for youth to gain skills in engagement, facilitation, event planning, and more!
