The world is slowly disintegrating into madness. A dystopian world does not seem unrealistic. There are so many problems in society today; we do not even know where to begin. We talk about these problems all the time: we research them, we debate them, we compare them, we even identify more of them. But when will we SOLVE them?
We are MUN Impact. We represent a global community that believes in the power of MUN to inform, inspire, and motivate its participants to take ACTION in support of the SDGs. We conduct a plethora of student-planned and student-led events all around the world.
Our workshop aims first to recognize that the SDGs affect different communities differently and that in fact, all the SDGs are intertwined. Learn about how to develop CLEAR and FEASIBLE plans that will help you solve the issues in your community and then the wider world. Our workshop will use the MUN Impact platform to learn about and take ACTION on the SDGs. Instead of just talking about the problems, let us solve them now! Let us make an impact together!
