Co-designed by six core-partner universities in collaboration with the United Nations (UN), the program builds knowledge of global issues and global literacy among students.  This is achieved through learning about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), exploring in-depth some of the world\u2019s biggest challenges, and proposing solutions using a framework for collaborative development of social innovation prototypes. The program places critical importance in introducing locally embedded unique case studies among the network members to help students develop a broad array of perspectives and deepen understandings of the SDGs.\r\n\r\nIn the year 2022-23, the theme of the program will be Shaping the Future of Health &#038; Wellbeing.  The program which will be offered online this year will explore the many dimensions of wellbeing including social, cultural, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, mental, physical, and economic.  It covers a broad range of topics, including mental health, health equity, health care systems and ethics, healthy aging, and global health.  By drawing on multiple disciplines and practices, the program aims to build a strong sense of global citizenship toward resilient global communities.\r\n\r\nTo apply for the APRU SDG Education for <a href=\"https:\/\/vse.apru.org\/sdg4gc\/\" class=\"link_txt\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Global Citizenship program (SDG4GC)<\/a> in 2022-23, please complete and submit <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/pages\/responsepage.aspx?id=iV9x12qT90q7daV6yZZG-tiPVXiqJMVHvJ3NfUkfGeFUNFhQQjA0TEZFVk0yMDQ1TE43TDZDQkI3Ty4u\" class=\"link_txt\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the online application form<\/a> <em class=\"txt_bold\">before October 5, 2022.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"list_nomal\"><h5 class=\"sttl04\"><em>\uff1cKey Program Features\uff1e<\/em><\/h5><li>Orientation program, interactive lectures, and training provided by APRU member universities, UN agencies, and experts from the field.<\/li><li>Teamwork with students from 60 universities in 19 economies.<\/li><li>UN SDG Primer Course which is self-paced will establish a common base of understanding and approach for the UN system in supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.<\/li><li>Mentorship program facilitated by academics and design thinking experts will guide teams of students to develop social innovation prototypes to address pressing challenges of our societies globally.<\/li><li>Pitching competition will showcase students\u2019 work and will be judged by a panel of UN experts.<\/li><li>Winning Prize is a week-long visit to Bangkok, Thailand with training at Chulalongkorn University\u2019s Innovation Hub, field trips to spin off companies and startups in rural community to learn innovative practices, and an opportunity to join a key United Nations event in Bangkok.<\/li><li>Certificate of completion jointly issued by partners.<\/li>\r\n<ul class=\"list_nomal\"><h5 class=\"sttl04\"><em>\uff1cProgram Timeline\uff1e<\/em><\/h5><li>Nov 1-2, 2022\uff1a Orientation, 2 hrs x 2 days (synchronous at UTC+7 time zone)<\/li>\r\n<li>Nov 2022 \u2013 Mar 2023\uff1a<\/li>\u30fbUndertake UN SDG Primer course (self-paced), 3.5 hrs\r\n\u30fbJoin lectures &#038; other engagement activities (synchronous &#038; asynchronous)\r\n\u30fbWork with mentors &#038; teams to develop social innovation idea\r\n<li>Mar 20, 2023\uff1a<\/li>\u30fbPitching competition, 3 hrs (synchronous at UTC+7 time zone)\r\n* Dates are subjected to changes.\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"list_nomal\"><h5 class=\"sttl04\"><em>\uff1cEligibility &#038; Application\uff1e*For Kyushu University students<\/em><\/h5><li>Enrolled at Kyushu University at the time of summer 2023.<\/li><li>Undergraduate students in any discipline<\/li><li>Completed at least one year of undergraduate studies<\/li><li>Good command of English language<\/li>*You must consult with your supervisor before applying for Global Citizenship program (SDG4GC).\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"sttl04\"><em>\uff1cDetail of the program\uff1e<\/em><\/h5>Please refer to the website below.\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vse.apru.org\/sdg4gc\/\" class=\"btn_file\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>APRU SDG Education for Global Citizenship Website<\/em><\/a>\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"sttl04\"><em>\uff1cApplication\uff1e<\/em><\/h5>To apply, please click the button below to access the application form.
