There are more young people in the world than ever before, creating unprecedented potential for economic and social progress. Many of the global challenges to development are especially salient for children and youth. At the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015, 193 world leaders committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (or SDGs) to help make the world safer, fairer and more just for everyone. There are 17 goals with specific targets, which aim to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030. The new Global Goals, and the broader sustainability agenda, go much further than the Millennium development Goals (MDGs) from 2000 in addressing the root causes of poverty and the universal need for development that works for all people. Unfortunately the world we are inheriting is in crisis. And we must start to realise our own ability to change this.

Our generation has the potential to finally change the world for the better. Until now, we have relied on adults keeping their promises to bring about change. world is calling on the youth to get involved. We must start creating the future we want to live in. Collectively we can do this. What better way better way to start taking action than through children? Through an exciting curriculum that motivates learners by adding relevance and dynamism to lessons about the SDGs, young people of all ages develop an appreciation of cultural diversity, allowing learners to enjoy a better understanding of the world. These experiences prepare young people to play a positive role in society. Project 17 hopes to build a network of young and vibrant individuals who will take action. Individuals who will enlighten the world about the 17 goals and collaborate to ensure that the goals are achieved by 2030.
