UNITAR CIFAL Jeju/Jeju International Training Center has been organizing youth workshops on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2013 to empower young people to be an active agent for SDGs achievement by 2030. The workshop offers a unique learning opportunity for both Korean and international students in the Republic of Korea to apply the concepts of SDGs into practices and strengthen their capacities to be a global leader through various workshop modules including lectures, group work, discussion and presentation.

The theme of the 18th Youth Workshop is ‘Youth and Life Below Water: Conserving and Sustainably using the Oceans and Marine Resources for Sustainable Development’.

The UN has proclaimed 2021 to 2030, the ‘UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade)’ in efforts to support global actions towards sustainable management of the ocean (reduce marine pollution, conserve coastal and marine areas, foster coastal economies’ growth,etc).

In correlation to the global movement, this four-day workshop aims to look back on the history of mankind and the oceans and look forward on how humans can utilize innovative solutions to foster a new chapter of saving our oceans. It’ll be comprised of a diverse variety of sessions including lectures, discussions, group work and more.
