The Global Festival Of Action https://globalfestivalofaction.org/#, organized by the United Nations SDG Action Campaign, invites SDG actors from across the world to build capacity, share knowledge, and form and strengthen networks during this time of physical distance, when community connections are needed more than ever.
Together with our partner World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), KAICIID is inviting experts in the field of sustainable development to address how dialogue and global partnerships can #TurnitAround for people and planet. The discussion, which will be facilitated by the Scouts, will call on experts to share how they overcame challenges in the implementation of the SDGs and share best practices for collaboration and broadening geographic engagement.
