This is a reminder that the deadline for BCCIC's SDG Bootcamp for Global Changemakers is coming up this Friday Feb 23. Please pass this unique opportunity along to any young people aged 18-24 that might be interested.

Please feel free to distribute on email lists, newsletters, or social media (share this facebook post, and this twitter post)

This training is a great opportunity to learn how to act on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and use them as a tool for furthering social and environmental justice work, or any work that shapes the world toward the vision of the 17 goals, from health to environment, from poverty to peace and education - the SDGs can be a useful lens on any work that seeks to change the world for the better.

SDG Bootcamp 2018

This year, BCCIC is rolling out the second SDG Bootcamp with a new and exciting itinerary. We’ll begin with a 3-day retreat outside of Vancouver on the beautiful sunshine coast in April, then a 5-day roadtrip through BC to engage with a new phase of our BC2030 campaign in May. The training for 2018 will culminate with a trip to New York to attend the United Nations High Level Political Forum in July, where the countries of the world will gather to evaluate their progress on the SDGs.
