MUN Impact Global Summit 2.0: Driving Impact and Action for the SDGs

Last month, MUN Impact launched its first-ever Global Summit. At the time of its birth, we had no idea how successful it would be. But with student presenters, influential UN-affiliated speakers, and dedicated change-makers coming together, the Summit exceeded all expectations. It brought together young people all over the world into a supportive, inspiring, and enriching ecosystem. The future of the SDGs never looked so bright. 

But this coming October, MUN Impact will launch the Global Summit 2.0. This three-day event will be devoted purely to action and change-making. There will be multiple workshops held by students, thought leaders, and UN officials. Learn how to use your knowledge and skills gained from MUN to drive action and impact into your communities. 

The MUNI Global Summit 2.0 will feature three exciting strands: Inspiration, SDG Sandbox, and the Dolphin Pool. You’ll be able to pick workshops and sessions based on your interest and experience. 

The first strand, Inspiration, offers ideas and ingenuity for advancing the SDGs. Take a peek inside the initiatives, projects, and creative ways MUN clubs, students and thought leaders are effectuating change. And leave with ideas on how you can take action and be part of a growing network of change makers. 

The second strand, the SDG Sandbox, is composed of 90-minute collaborative sessions through which you’ll learn how to plan a project that solves a problem in your local or global community. 

Finally, the last strand is the Dolphin Pool. Pitching an idea is a delicate art — but one you can master. Contrary to the competitive ‘Shark Tank’, our take on pitching involves teamwork, collaboration and communication — skills that dolphins are masters of. Take the idea you developed in the SDG Sandbox, and refine and develop a pitch with our guidance. Then you’ll be able to make a case for your one-of-a-kind SDG project. 

We’ll also host a number of social hours at the end of each Summit Day. These are a place where you can hang out, make new friends, listen to music, etc. 

The MUNI Global Summit 2.0 is sure to be bigger, more practical, and more influential than our last Summit. Make sure you don’t miss it. It’s the next step towards tackling the SDGs and creating a brighter future for us all. Pre-registration is open now. For more information please see the MUN Impact Summit website here.

Dates: October 23 – October 25
