Who What Where How Stories Careers Tenders Contact Us DONATE Fostering Global Citizenship Why this goal? Individual actions and networks are no longer limited by traditional boundaries. We are a Global Family, with the Sustainable Development Goals representing an international commitment to transforming our world. Responding to this challenge is not a task exclusive to any one geography, population or sector. It is the responsibility of us all. Global citizens make real change happen Through our Global Citizenship programme, we aim to empower a generation of Global Citizens to critically reflect on and better understand how our world is interconnected. We want to ensure children, young people and adults believe that a fairer, more equal, and sustainable world is possible and support them to develop the relevant skills to act in pursuit of this world for everyone on the planet. In 2015, UN world leaders adopted the Sustainable Development Goals. Made up of 17 individual but interconnected goals, they outline what must be done to build a fairer, more sustainable future. Everyone has the power to help make real change happen. Be a Global Citizen and join one of GOAL's Global Citizenship programmes. Accept Non Necessary cookies to view the content.
