This work promotes reflection on the SDGs among Ecuadorian youth.
The Time Machine 2030 project has been launched, an initiative that aims to involve young people in reflection, training and expression on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This project's main objective is to create spaces where young people can discuss and address current problems that will have a significant impact in the future.
The project is made up of a series of training workshops that will end with the publication of a book composed of texts written by the young participants themselves. These texts will be letters addressed to your future self in the year 2030, in which you will express your contributions and concerns about the SDGs, as well as your expectations about how you expect the world to be on that date.
To achieve this, several phases have been structured, currently the Time Machine 2030 Workshop Cycle is being developed. These workshops offer young people training on raising awareness of the SDGs and about the principles and tools of creative writing, and which are being Taught by leading professionals in their respective areas:
- Mario Naranjo: Communication and program promotion officer of the Office of the United Nations Resident Coordinator of Ecuador. Topic: Introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Lizette Ponce: Data Management, Monitoring and Reporting Officer in the Office of the United Nations Resident Coordinator of Ecuador. Topic: The SDGs in Ecuador.
- Francisco Mejía: United Nations Strategic Partnerships and Financing Officer. Topic: Human rights and SDGs in practice.
- Paula Vásquez Cobo: National Communication Officer at IOM Ecuador. Topic: SDG, action and commitment.
- Laura Malache: Coordinator of the CEDIA Editorial. Topic: Fundamentals and tools of creative writing.
More than 25 young people from all over Ecuador, aged between 14 and 24, are involved in these virtual workshops. The initiative is a collaboration between CEDIA and Unicef, and offers young people a valuable opportunity to train and express their ideas and visions about a sustainable future.
The Time Machine 2030 project not only aims to educate and empower young people, but also offers them a platform to express their visions and actively contribute to building a more equitable and sustainable future.
