When the UN presented the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, a comprehensive plan was provided to build a more sustainable world. The 17 goals included in the plan, cover a wide range of issues that involve people with different needs, values and convictions. It is important to understand how we as individuals, organisations and societies can become more effective in the work towards sustainability, due to the complexity of the challenges. The starting point of this initiative is a belief that there is a blind spot in our efforts to create a sustainable global society

The conference is part of a wider learning community and there is a preparatory workshop the 28th April 09.30-12.00 CET which you are welcome to join.  This will also be the official preview of the Inner Development Goals;  a framework of the capabilities, qualities, and skills that are vital in order to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. To this end Mindshift welcome your thoughts and insights by taking this survey to identify skills or qualities you think would be most important to develop to work towards a sustainable world.  The survey should take 10 minutes of your time.
