'Tackling the Root Causes of Poverty, Inequality and Climate Change.'
You are invited to join the journey of this year’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Advocates; a group of motivated and concerned Active Citizens from all over Ireland, who took the “call to action” in March 2020. The following 8 months unraveled as a rollercoaster of alteration! The team of Advocates were flexible with every adaption of the training and still remained rooted in the integrity of their goal; to deepen their understanding of the SDG’s and to design informed action projects of positive change in the Adult and Community Sector.
The SDG Advocate Training is part of a larger programme called “Saolta”; meaning “worldly - wise” and indeed the showcase event offers an opportunity for leaders and advocates to share their “worldly-wise” insights, ideas and actions.
Key-note speaker - Richard Wilkinson, Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham Medical School, Honorary Professor at University College London and Visiting Professor at the University of York.
