SUMMARY
Date: Monday 4th November 2019

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Amidst the urgency to take social action towards preserving the environment and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development 2030 agenda, more youths need to be educated on the What and How of social change. We believe youths are passion driven, willing and ready to make a difference but the importance of learning how to ideate and implement is a crucial skill that requires capacity-building opportunities.
