In this hands-on, minds-on workshop, delegates work in small groups to reach consensus on an evidence-based solution for an SDG-related challenge. Using the methods of Expedición Ciencia (nonprofit science immersion camps in Argentina), delegates will consider evidence, as well as points of view from team members that represent cultural, educational and other differences. The workshop demonstrates how to put global competence education into practice to help young people become active global citizens.
