Project aims

� To learn the SDG framework theory is not enough, experimentation and personalization of the message is necessary. � To work with the SDGs, one must first know their origin and framework. � Personal experience has an important weight in a methodology that seeks the connection and contact with the essential. � Each person can, regardless of their condition and experience, work and live the message of the SDGs. � The university is an adequate space to disclose the SDGs for its commitment to the social, economic and environmental improvement of the planet.

Project outcome

The personal work to experience the SDGS in the student�s daily life makes them appreciate them in a positive way. Realistic, measurable, specific and viable actions are established that show both successes and difficulties in accomplishing them. Examples: �only eat organic products for a week�, �only ride a bike, no car�. Teamwork provides tangible actions that aim to impact the group and the community. Examples: �SDG themed Christmas party �, �Publication of a booklet on� Sustainable consumption�.
