About the Project

In today’s world, young people have access to more information than ever before, yet many still feel disconnected from the global challenges shaping our future. Issues like climate change, poverty, and inequality can often feel distant or too complex. That’s why education about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is essential, it empowers youth to see how they can play an active role in building a fairer and more sustainable world by 2030.

The Erasmus+ Youth Exchange “SDG Stories” uses the power of comics and storytelling to make the SDGs more accessible, creative, and engaging. By combining art with advocacy, participants will learn how to simplify complex issues, raise awareness, and inspire action in their communities.
