Are you passionate about solving social challenges and improving lives?
Join other global jammers around the world and participate in a challenging and exciting weekend that will push your creativity, knowledge and skills to the limits.
This year, the Global Goals Jam is coming to you in Munich alongside 85 other cities with over 4,000 jammers in the 2nd edition of the #GlobalGoalsJamMunich. In this edition, local innovators and creatives like you will again be joining forces to design actionable interventions towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As a participant, you and your team will create solutions aimed at this year’s global themes:
Public Health (SDG 3, SDG 11)
Education for All (SDG 4, SDG 10)
Nature and Climate Change (SDG 13, SDG 15)
Sustainable Development for People and Planet (SDG 1, SDG 8)
You will work in a small team of designers, developers and other creatives on creating local interventions aimed at short term targets in support of the long term sustainable development goals. And our team of motivated and skilled mentors will be there to support your process with design-thinking methods and critical thinking.
