“ “
Project Manager World’s Largest Lesson, Project Everyone Project Everyone’s mission is focused on awareness of the SDG agenda – with the belief that this awareness raising will ultimately lead to the implementation of the Goals. AIESEC’s focus on bringing the Goals to life for a young generation is absolutely key, and Youth 4 Global Goals can become a really powerful movement. Young people are powerful changemakers - they have the creativity, determination and optimism to drive momentum and action behind the Goals, and make them a success.

Co-Founder & Chairman, PVBLIC Foundation We today use media and advertising to influence people and everything they do. We believe that this power of influence could also be utilized to connect people at a level of consciousness that engages them to affect change, to do good and care about building a better tomorrow, today. That's why we think it is important to support initiatives such as Youth 4 Global Goals. Youth are the leaders of now and are creating the future for themselves and their grandchildren, therefore youth always will be the most important influencers of any times to affect and make change. Always.
Douglas Ragan Chief, Youth and Livelihoods, UN-Habitat AIESEC has been a tremendous partner to us in promoting the SDGs and engaging young people into action, particularly in urban context. AIESEC's wide outreach and representation in over 120 countries made it easier for us to disseminate information about the SDGs as well as UN-HABITAT's work to wider youth network. We at UN-HABITAT have been working on youth issues for decades, helping to bring out the voices of marginalized young people and engage them in various political processes. Partnership with AIESEC makes our efforts easier and more efficient.
