Millennium Fellowship Project: They Won't, We Will: Transdisciplinary Approach to a Better Future
Our project is called They Won’t, We Will and focuses on SDG number 8, promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. Our project covers the basis of many of the SDG’s, like 10 reduced inequalities and 16 on peace and justice, but we feel number 8 is the most all encompassing. We will be creating and hosting a festival that is centered around a concert but will have other arts and clothing trading components as well. This will bring together students on campus and empower them to solve and reach for the UN’s SDG goals but by taking a transdisciplinary approach and thinking outside the box, rather than through a single minded manner which is not proving to be sufficient enough to meet the goals and objectives we should. Our goal is to promote self-reliance and community building rather than petitioning the government to change policy.
