'From the Netherlands with love' - SDG Action Day

The Hague Humanity Hub is organizing an all-new event on SDG Action Day called ‘From the Netherlands with love’. The event will give participants an insight into the current standing, future goals and steps ahead for SDG 5 (gender equality), 13 (climate action), 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions) and 17 (partnerships for the goals). 

The event will be a fun and informal space open to students and young professionals, with a lot of room for interaction and, of course, actions!

Dr Jeff Handmaker, Associate Professor at the International Institute of Social Studies will give a presentation on a specific topic/problem related to SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions. As a participant, you will have an advisory role and thus a real ‘action‘ in the SDG Action Day!

This day provides an opportunity to engage with the SDGs, get in touch with several organizations from The Hague.
