    United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

    When it comes to community impact projects, the UN has created 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These are the Sustainable Development Goals associated with my project.

      How the project works

      The project includes monthly discussion circles, book club sessions, creative workshops, two cultural showcase events, and a week-long conference featuring experts in international law and international relations. Participants will develop leadership, critical thinking, creativity, and cultural awareness while collaborating on a policy report addressing challenges facing East Africa.

      Project Impact

      The project will empower young people from the Djiboutian diaspora by strengthening their leadership, communication, critical thinking, and civic engagement skills. It will foster a stronger sense of belonging, promote cultural pride, and create lasting connections within the community. Through education, creativity, and collaboration, participants will become more confident and engaged leaders. The project’s policy report on East Africa will also encourage informed dialogue and contribute youth perspectives to discussions on international cooperation and development.
