Sustainable Development Goals Dialogues
Sustainable Development Goals Dialogues
As a first step toward JMU's commitment to the University Global Coalition, on March 29, 2021, for 90 minutes, 29 faculty members, 16 students, and 3 community partners participated in five simultaneous dialogues. Guided by students in a graduate Communication & Advocacy course, the participants discussed how their work supported one of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-Being
Goal 10 – Reduced Inequalities
Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
Goal 15 – Life on Land
Goal 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Then, using a collaboration platform, participants shared their thoughts about the potential of the framework to organize JMU student engagement and action on the world’s most pressing challenges.
