Sustainable Development Goals Leadership

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

This class is designed to bring together groups of undergraduate students from Durham University and the University of Notre Dame's London Undergraduate Program, to develop their leadership skills around the topic of local responses to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, in a trial integration between two partner institutions. Drawing on the research work being carried out in both institutions, students will explore two of the seventeen goals in more detail, before working in groups on consultancy case-studies with real-world relevance. The consultancy case-studies will provide an opportunity to strengthen consultancy, advocacy, research, and leadership skills, in the context of working in intercultural teams, and multinational contexts: a scenario with ever-increasing relevance in an increasingly mobile and global working environment.
