GGJ seeks to design realistic, actionable interventions for realizing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs”) that take shape as startups, non-profit or for-profit companies.

A GGJ in New York is a 4-hour event consisting of short design sprints, presenting and discussing startup business plans for attaining the SDGs in the local context of New York. Creative teams of designers, developers and Jammers from the local communities work together using a tailored toolkit that applies a design thinking method to addressing and solving challenges of realizing the SDGs in the given context.

The GGJ workshop aims to:

• Introduce the audience to the methodology of design thinking underpinning the GGJ concept

• Conduct a series of case analytical and visual exercisesa applying design thinking to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals in the local context. Each team working on the selected targets and indicators of an SDG/ SDGs will have delivered a business plan for a startup initiative to achieve them.
