The "SDG Stories" Project, Phase III 2023–2024
November 2023
During the academic year 2023–2024, the stories of our young people continued for the third consecutive year, prompting ESCWA to keep pace with their creativity and illustrate it in a third volume of “The ESCWA Stories”. This volume addresses topics that reflect young people’s interests and support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Volume 3 features five illustrated stories that tackle the urgent need to implement sustainable development projects in the Arab region. It also provides solutions to contribute to the achievement of many SDGs, including SDGs 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 with a focus on SDG 17, which is mainly related to partnerships for the Goals.
The students embodied these SDGs in ambitious development projects that they implemented in their schools and communities under the supervision of their teachers, who participated in training courses organized by ESCWA on the importance of the United Nations principles.
For more information on the project since its inception in 2021 until the end of the 2024 academic year in the participating schools from Lebanon, Jordan and Kuwait, please click here
