"Beyond the Millennium Development Goals: Ensuring a World Fit for Children?"

Beyond the Classroom presents a seminar on "Beyond the Millennium Development Goals: Ensuring a World Fit for Children?" on Monday, September 29th at 7:00 pm!

What prospects do children born today face around the world? What is required to ensure a world fit for children? In 2000, 189 governments came together with the United Nations to develop eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for alleviating poverty and hunger, as well as improving children’s educational opportunities and health by 2015. What progress has the world community made in achieving these bold goals? How can the international community strengthen its commitment to children’s welfare, well-being, and life opportunities around the world beyond 2015? Join us for a seminar that looks at the new proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the world community to act on by 2030 and what can citizens do to take action!
