OUR MISSION
"We strive to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
— the world's blueprint for building a future of peace and prosperity for all of a healthy planet."
— UN Secretary General António Guterres
Project 17 is dedicated to connecting students across the world through synchronous Zoom discussions about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
OUR APPROACH: THE FIVE P'S
We host four annual synchronous Zoom discussions, each centered around a particular group of SDGs. Starting with the planet and focusing on people and prosperity, we hope to reach peace and partnership.
​
In addition, we publish writing by our members on our blog and manage a asynchronous discussion board in our member portal.
