About International Workshop :

To achieve the target 17.9 under SDG 17 “enhances the international support for capacity building” SESD is planning number of activities & training programs to help global community to achieve SDGs. The global COVID 19 pandemic teaches us some lessons and brings us towards the reality of life. It is possible to take control of such a devastating disease with unity, scientific knowledge and proper communication. The advanced and smart technologies helped us to reach every person on this planet and to some extent change his or her behaviour towards understanding and responding to COVID 19 disease. Similarly we can use such communication and smart technologies to reach people to make them understand SDGs and to act on it.

The UN highlighted the importance of Communication for Sustainable Development is widely acknowledged worldwide. It has the potential to achieve lasting, positive impacts on education, economic prosperity, social inclusion and environmental protection, taking us all forward to a new era of peace and sustainable development. It is about dialogue, participation and the sharing of knowledge and information among people and institutions. It takes into account the needs and capacities of all concerned in the development process. It is thus a social process.
