We are truly grateful for feedback from the people who take part in our SDGs workshops.
Here are some of the nice things they have said
Higher Education and Research
Teamwork was key as the Fellows were asked ‘Do we have what it takes to save the world by 2030?’ Using skills of negotiation, co-operation & communication they undertook a real-world simulation led by Wendy Stone, Director of The Global Academy, with thoughtful reflections from the Fellows on the moral dilemmas often inherent in decision-making when balancing competing needs.

The value of the SDGs workshop, for me, is in the conversations and realisations it provokes in the following days and weeks. It broadens discussions for our Post Graduate students and creates new spaces and opportunities for them to explore the wider implications of their work.

My first in-person workshop since the COVID pandemic – absolutely brilliant! I can’t recommend this highly enough – really thought provoking and informative
The Global Academy SDG simulation was fantastic, one of the best workshops I’ve been to – Christina Arthur

. . . the team left the event with a renewed awareness of the important role that businesses play in safeguarding our world for future generations.
It’s a heavy topic, but it’s one we have to keep in mind – and this Away Day was a great way to do just that…Jemima King, Partner at Richardsons Chartered Accountants via LinkedIn
Community Events
The Future We Choose – The Power of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is a quite serious and thought provoking ‘game’ about how our global society, environment and economy might turn out depending on the collective choices we make.
. . . by 2026 we had ruined the worlds society and environment, but had great economic progress. Then, after some careful thinking, by 2030 we had levelled our economic progress against having a thriving and healthy environment to live in and benefit from.
It’s difficult to explain how this works so you ALL need to play this game!Matt Skipper, Head of New Business, Mills and Reeve via LinkedIn
