The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) collaborated with The Institute for Youth Sustainability Leadership (IYSL) to organise an informative and interactive workshop – Knowledge Hub: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as part of the skill-based workshop series of The HSUHK Innovation Project Competition 2023 on 23 February. The workshop aimed to educate and empower students on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, providing them with a platform and empowering them to develop innovative solutions for global challenges and showcasing the potential of young minds in addressing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The workshop began with an introduction to the SDGs, followed by interactive sessions that emphasised the importance of each goal and their interconnectivity. Participants were divided into teams and assigned specific goals to work on. The teams then brainstormed ideas and developed innovative solutions to problems related to their assigned SDG. The interactive nature of the workshop fostered peer-to-peer collaboration and enabled students to engage in practical action and learn about best practices.

Additionally, the participants showcased their solutions and ideas through group presentations that demonstrated their understanding of the SDGs and showcased their creativity. The workshop was a huge success, and the students left with a better understanding of the SDGs, the knowledge and the skills needed to tackle global challenges. One of the participants expressed their satisfaction with the workshop stating, “The interactive nature of the workshop made the experience enjoyable and informative. I feel more equipped to participate in the innovation competition and excited to implement the ideas we developed.”
