Culture defines and shapes who we are. Even though culture was neglected in the MDGs’ context, it is hard to discuss about SDGs without recognizing the role of culture. Jeju was selected as 2016 East Asia City of Culture, along with Ningbo, China and Nara, Japan. This project aims to develop mutual understanding and build solidarity between these countries in the East Asian region. The youth from these cities will engage in various cultural activities under the theme of Sustainable Seas to advocate the SDGs to the general public with their own art projects.

This workshop aims to promote culture which is crucial for building a more inclusive and sustainable society. The event will equip youth with the awareness to be able to understand that the culture is the heart of the SDGs. 

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Acquire knowledge on culture’s contribution to sustainable development(SDGs target 4.7)
  • Act as advocates for the SDGs under the theme of “sustainable Seas”(SDGs goal 14)
