If you are interested in developing a project, this space is for you!
We know that planning a project and finding resources can be tough; that’s why we want to help you and support you, your ideas, and projects at the SDG Sandbox.
You will boost your confidence, gain unique experiences, make new friends, connect with new people, grow your network, get involved with the MUN Impact community, and learn how to plan and work together to achieve our goals! So it’s a great learning and personal experience that everyone can get involved with from anywhere in the world! Like every online program MUN Impact organises, the Global Summit is entirely free, all you have to do is fill in the registration form. Give yourself the chance to change the world!
But what exactly is the SDG Sandbox? This strand will hold 2-hour sessions where Keynote speakers, global shapers, and DSGs from MUN Impact will kindly guide you through the process of developing action plans that you can take to your community. Here, you will get the chance not only to work but also to meet and make connections with students worldwide.
At the Sandbox sessions, you will be able to choose from a selection of SDG targets to work on.
Each SDG has many areas in which you can work on, every single one has its advantages, and we know that you’ll come up with great solutions that’ll leave others amazed. Therefore, we would be delighted to have you participating and making an impact. Once you have developed your idea, you can have a go at pitching it in our dolphin pool and get feedback and encouragement from industry leaders and UN officials.
When the summit is over, high school students can join us in our MUN Impact Collaboration Hubs. You can even continue to develop and improve your project through initiatives and events, technology solutions, a start-up business, etc. There are a lot of projects that you can develop along with a group of students that’ll have the same interest as you in achieving the SDGs. In addition, you can use this opportunity to start to prepare for the SDGs challenge. If you want more information on the SDGs Challenge click here and pre-register yourself.
