A Global Survey to Explore SDG Prioritisation Among Young People
14 July 2022
University students play an important role as future leaders and professionals across varying sectors of industry, research, and innovation.
Effective ways to educate university students on the SDGs are required if we are to create change and attain the 2030 Agenda. CIFAL Newcastle is developing a survey to explore university students’ prioritisation and perceptions of the SDGs. It will also explore students characteristics to determine how these may impact prioritisation of SDGs, including gender, discipline of study or location.
Goals
This project aims to provide international data, to understand what SDGs are most important to university students, enabling targeted efforts towards SDG education and attainment. The findings from this study will guide future research projects aiming to increase the feasibility and acceptability of interventions to promote SDG action among young people.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
