Solving the Sustainable Development Goals in 90 Minutes
This highly interactive simulation explores the visualization of information as a tool to address complex problems and create collaborative solutions. It challenges participants to solve poverty and climate change on a global scale in 90 minutes. Structured via a strategic design thinking model proposed by technology pioneer Tom Wujec, participants will initially be faced with the daunting task of making toast. Once the perfect piece of toast has been made, professionally trained facilitators will lead a brief discussion on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on Goal 1 “No Poverty,” or Goal 13 “Climate Action.” Participants will be divided into small groups and challenged to solve these issues using the same “toast” methodology - visualizing possible solutions and creating a comprehensive model of interconnected nodes. After a 20-minute brainstorming session, each group will present their model. Facilitators will debrief each group’s proposed solution, encouraging participants to explore the interconnectivity of SDGs, global implications of the proposed solutions, and possible ways to bring solutions to action. At the conclusion of the presentations, the short video “Don’t Choose Extinction” will be shown. Spots are limited to the first 24 participants; please RSVP: forms.gle/q6ju7R3CnsNAZd4aA
