How do global challenges translate into local action? And how can campus stakeholders influence real progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

In this interactive UN-style simulation, participants will step into the role of stakeholder representatives — student clubs, NGOs, campus services, community partners, and more. Through a moderated speakers list, debate rounds, and rapid negotiation sessions, each group will advocate for their priorities, build alliances, and work toward drafting a shared Campus SDG Action Resolution.

This is not a lecture,  it’s an active decision room.

Participants will:

  • Respond to a real SDG case prompt
  • Debate through UN-style moderation and procedures
  • Break out into negotiation clusters
  • Co-create commitments that lead to actual campus action

No prior Model UN or SDG experience is required. Just curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to speak up.
