Global Citizens

U21 is a truly global network of 27 universities that span 18 countries and 19 time zones, and throughout the course participants engage with and learn from students across the globe.
By developing ideas together, across borders and time zones, students develop the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century whilst tackling some of the world’s most pressing problems, outlined in the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG). With the support of Common Purpose’s trained facilitators, participants are guided to reflect on the improvement in their cultural competency and awareness throughout the course and how they, as individuals and as groups, can turn their learning into valuable global action.
Throughout the program I learned about the sustainable development goals of Unitied Nations, we further worked over one SDG each, where I worked over the goal of Collaborating with Diverse Networks, through that we used to have regular discussions around the world. It was an amazing experience to connect to the people with so much different cultures and understanding their point of view.
