OPERATIONALIZING OUR GEARS
Investing in Evidence
Assembloids is designed as a series of miniature assemblies, or "assembloids," for youth and professionals to convene and develop solutions to the critical challenges for achieving youth equity, inspired by "SDG 18." This series of dialogues aim to create a roadmap for institutions embarking on meeting “SDG 18” while critically analyzing an institution’s current plans to meet the Global Goals.
Illustrating Action
Cast 4ward is a program concept designed to leverage existing art programming to teach sustainable development and enable youth to generate wealth by selling their physical or digital art through traditional income and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This is to aim for a shift from exposure to exchange in knowledge, duty, and responsibility. As such, an action-oriented pedagogy is developed to support self-directed continuous learning, participative and collaborative application as well as the linking of education and practice.
Driving Advocacy
SDG 18 Youth Equity: “SDG 18 Youth Equity” is Global Futurist Initiative's current advocacy campaign to prioritize youth in global agendas. Over the past decade before Global Futurist Initiative was even a concept, youth activists have been working hard to build an agenda for making youth issues a priority and defining what it means to achieve this goal.
