Participants will learn how to pitch an incredible idea for an SDG-driven project, draw an excellent plan, gather reliable colleagues and partnerships and successfully implement the plan. They will hone their thinking, initiative, interpersonal and execution skills. Through my message, I will teach them how to use their available resources, such as teachers, schoolmates and social media accounts, to initiate similar projects or publicise planned projects. I will also instruct them on how to narrow their intended audience, in the interest of making a more significant impact.
