UN SDG Youth Action Festivals
In March of 2020, CollatEd Lab Events was invited by the French Embassy of Rwanda to present our impact on SDG 5 (gender equality) and foreign policy on International Women's Day to the Head of the European External Action Service of the European Union and The Heads of Embassies of Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden.
International Women's Day
The world’s first SDG Youth Action Festivals, in partnership with the UN SDG Action Campaign, bridges the youth inclusion gap with the entrepreneurship and global networking skills needed to identify sustainable policy and community solutions for working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals. CollatEd Lab utilizes a culturally-sensitive curriculum to equip youth with the civic education tools needed to create social change in their communities and simultaneously become involved with international issues impacting today’s society and economy. These 4-month-long campaign summits were hosted in 9 developing countries: India, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Iran, Rwanda, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Eswatini.
