Live from the ‘18 Global Goals Student Summit – Part 1

The 2018 Global Goals Student Summit is well underway!

Last Friday, Nord Anglia Education students from around the world gathered in New York City and kicked-off a week of activities centred around the Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

So far, Nord Anglia students have joined a range of meaningful activities at the Nord Anglia International School, New York. They have visited the Headquarters of the United Nations, attended seminars at the UNICEF House on the goals, and enjoyed excursions across the city.

Enjoy the following posts as captured by our amazing student journalists so far:

Want to learn more about this meaningful trip? Check out these articles written by our student journalists on how the trip has inspired them to think more in-depth about important issues:

• "Model United Nations sparks discussion on the importance of young minds in our global future" by Lucy Alice Watson, a student at the British International School, Abu Dhabi.
• "‘Fear is a universal language’, but it shouldn’t be a language that children all over the world are forced to learn" by Hannah Scott, a student at Nord Anglia International School, Shanghai Pudong.

Coming up later in the week is the main event: student presentations at the High Level Political Forum!

Each year, UNICEF invites Nord Anglia student ambassadors to present their ideas on the SDGs at this prestigious event in front of government officials and distinguished individuals. This is a unique opportunity for Nord Anglia students to contribute to the discussion and influence policy at the highest level.
