  • Work in teams to explore global problems and gain understanding of the impact they create.
  • Generate ideas and develop them into viable solutions.
  • Test your concepts to see if they have value and are feasible.
  • Develop your communication and pitching skills.

Game Changer has achieved ‘SDG Good Practice’ status from the United Nations and featured in the global publication ‘SDG Good Practices: A compilation of success stories and lessons learned in SDG implementation’ (pages 44-45).

Our next Game Changer will be taking place in June 2024.
