Global Goals Jam Trans-local : Japan 2022, A two-day workshop

The Faculty of Design, Kyushu University will again this year host Global Goals Jam, a two-day workshop held around the world to think about sustainability from a global perspective and generate ideas for local solutions. Together with the Kyoto and Yamaguchi communities, we will share the perspectives of participants and issue stakeholders from both global and local viewpoints necessary to achieve the SDGs, and aim for “trans-local” collaboration that transcends regional boundaries.
Let’s use GGJ as an opportunity to expand our circle of friends and connect to concrete actions!
