Description of Project:
Through this innovative pilot series, students from across SUNY are immersing themselves in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and applying digital storytelling skills to collaborate with global partners. We invite our students to share their projects and stories, as we celebrate their work and potential for global impact.
How it was Made:
Students will learn about one of six selected sustainable development goals (SDGs) and how community-based and nonprofit organizations around the world are taking action towards achieving this goal. Students will gain skills in storytelling, intercultural communications, and collaborative project development by telling the story of one of these partner organizations through the framework of one of the SDGs. Partner organizations around the world will work with groups of students to develop these stories, and receive use of the final products. Coursework on intercultural storytelling and international perspectives on the selected SDG will provide concepts and knowledge that students will apply to the development and execution of their projects. Check out the SUNY COIL Global Commons Program page for more information.
