3 3 1. What are the Sustainable Development Goals? On September 25th 2015, the 197 member countries of the United Nations adopted a set of goals to: End Poverty, Protect the Planet, & Ensure Prosperity for All. These are THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS As part of a new sustainable development agenda, ( the 17 goals have specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals ( ) and complete what they did not achieve. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental. For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society and people like you. Canada has signed on to advance the goals so everyone needs to do their part. Global Citizen Events is encouraging everyone in the Central Okanagan to take a part and especially YOUTH Which number most motivates YOU? There are 17 to choose - yet they are all connected!
4 4 2. What is the Sustainable Development Challenge (SDC)? The Sustainable Development Challenge is a public engagement event that was introduced to bring awareness to the Sustainable Development Goals and to move students from the theoretical to the practical regarding their ability to act on them. In the school classroom, students may participate in discussions and debates regarding the SDGs. After hours, students may be involved in volunteering with various charities that ignite their passion to do something. How do we bring these two together? This is the goal of the SDC! How do the SDGs apply to what is being done through local organizations and how can student teams highlight and expand on them? More than philosophical exercises that may lack any tangible results or personal investment, the SDC challenges students to work as a team to present their ideas of how they would spend the first place prize money to help reach one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Although the students receive recognition and a great experience, the winners are not so much the students as it is the projects they have advocated! The prize money goes to the charity hosting the project and students are able to see the project they advocated for become a reality! In some cases, students will implement the plans as volunteers themselves or know their efforts have enabled the project to be completed. The Sustainable Development Challenge helps youth and the community around them, get involved in actually addressing these urgent needs from a local perspective. 3. Basic steps to the Challenge: 1. Register for the challenge Apply Now online and tell us; Which SDG# you are most passionate about and why? What would you like to accomplish with this challenge? Deadline for applications NOV.3 ( 2. Assemble your dynamic team! Groups must be no more than six students in grades 8-12 in the Central Okanagan. An adult sponsor must be found to supervise the presentation and be in attendance at the SDC. 3. Determine the NGO/CSO you wish to work with by finding them on your own or by attending our NGO/CSO Meet and Greet Night October OC Atrium (kind of like shopping for the perfect business partner) where we will assemble some amazing locally based organizations for you to work with. Make sure that they are a registered Canadian charity. (See Section 8 of handbook) 4. Attend our Mentorship night where we will bring together some our cities finest experts for you to connect with. (Kind of like speed dating for the best advice!) They will be an important part of your success. 5. Follow the Challenge Criteria (see Section 10 of handbook) Working with your chosen charity and with consultation with other community mentors, each student team creates a $5000 project proposal. The proposal must specifically address one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Formulate and submit your Abstract by Jan. 12 th (see handbook sec. 11)
5 5 6. Watch for notification whether or not your team is moving to the next level. The top teams are chosen to pitch their proposal at the Challenge in February If successful, this will mean a chance to compete for the $5000 prize money. Your team will a) Finalize the formal written project based on your abstract and submit to judges (one week before the challenge) b) Prepare a live creative interpretation of your project to be performed at the Sustainable Development Challenge in February in front of judges and an audience. 4. What is the prize for the SDC? $5000 will be awarded to the charity of the team with the best overall project. Other prizes and awards may be given. Although the students receive recognition and a great experience, it is the charity hosting the project, which receives the dollars. 5. Who can participate in the SDC? The SDC is open to youth in grades 8-12 in the Central Okanagan. Students may participate in groups of 2 to 6 members. The SDC does not have to be school-based and can include service groups and youth leadership clubs or committees. 6. Where & when does the SDC take place? Preparation for the SDC takes time & effort but it is so worth it! All forms and Applications can be found on our website and are open NOW! Early applicants have the best advantages. October 25, 2017: Introduction to potential NGO/CSO partners: 12-5 pm Okanagan College Atrium November 3, 2017: Deadline for Application/Letter of Intent (online) Mid November: Mentorship Meet and Greet: details sent to applicants January 12 th: Abstract due: Mid January: The projects chosen to move forward will be notified Mid February: Final written projects submitted to judges Late February: The Sustainable Development Challenge Presentation Night 7. Benefits of taking the Sustainable Development Challenge a) ENLIGHTENED - Students will leave the SDC enlightened about local and global issues and empowered about how each of us can make a difference. b) ENCOURAGED - Students will be encouraged by meeting hundreds of like-minded youth and adults who are eager to take on the challenge of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.
6 6 c) EMPOWERED - Past winners of the MDC (which preceded the SDC prior to 2015) have mentioned that they received an incredible sense of empowerment by making a concrete contribution to the urgent social issues. And even more potential benefits! d) The SDC makes a great addition to Socials Studies and a number of high school humanities, economics and arts courses. With the new BC curriculum, students may be eligible to receive actual course credit for completion of the SDC. e) In researching a suitable project to present, students will be educated about local NGOs and will be encouraged to get involved in volunteer activities. This can lead to work experience and qualify for Career and Personal Planning hours necessary for high school graduation. f) Students learn to write grant proposals, and hone their oral presentation skills very useful skills in the world of post-secondary education. g) Grade 12 students can use their SDC experience to support their application service awards, scholarships, and bursaries. 8. Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) a) What is an NGO? Also known as a CSO A non-governmental organization (NGO) or becoming known more recently as a Civil Society Organization (CSO), is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level. NGOs/CSOs associated with the SDC are the local and locally-based international organizations which are on-the-ground working with people and hosting projects to accomplish specific goals. Because the SDGs are universal most organizations have at least one of the SDG 17 goals as their focus. (Whether they realize it or not ) For the purposes of the SDC, the NGO/CSO must also be a registered Canadian charity (able to issues income tax receipts to the sponsors of the prizes). b) Working with an NGO/CSO When a student team is interested in applying for the SDC, they must choose a charitable NGO/CSO to work with and then a particular project within that charity to promote for the $5000 prize. There will be an information night inviting NGOs/CSOs to attend so students can meet those best aligned with their particular passion and skills. What are your passions? Which organization best reflects your team? How inviting is the organization for you to become involved? Will you receive the support you need from them to create a winning presentation for the SDC? These are the questions to be asked when considering the NGO/CSO to be highlighted at the SDC. You may adapt one of the charity s current projects seeking funding, or preferably create a new project specific to the SDC that is supported by the NGO. There are many NGOs/CSOs registered in Canada, (able to issue tax receipts) but for the SDC, the requirement is that it must be either a locally based or locally working charity. (What they do is done here in the Okanagan OR what
7 7 they do is international but they have representation in the Okanagan). The charitable work they do must directly impact one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals. Likely, students are already familiar with a number of NGOs/CSOs but they may want to look a little further to find the best fit. Things to note when approaching NGOs: Does the NGO/CSO have status as a registered Canadian charity? Does the NGO/CSO work directly in the Okanagan or do they have a local office for their international work? Will the NGO/CSO provide the necessary guidance to support the students? Will they encourage students to receive mentorship from other community members as well? How does the project fit in with the Sustainable Development Goals? How will the prize money be used? Make sure that the funding can fulfill the requirements of the project. c) How are the NGOs/CSOs involved in the SDC? NGOs are the fortunate recipients of the awarded funding. The SDC prize is awarded to the winning project! charitable donation will be made to the NGO/CSO to implement the winning project presented at the SDC. A The NGO/CSO may recruit students, especially those currently volunteering with them, to participate in the SDC. The NGO/CSO is responsible for providing the student clear information and to work alongside the student in preparing a winning presentation- but not to do the work for them! The NGO/CSO is responsible to ensure that the project being promoted at the SDC has approval from their own board of directors and will be eligible for expenditure of charitable funds. If an NGO chosen by the winning team is not a registered Canadian charity, the awarded prize donation cannot be given. d) What you can expect from your NGO When students are choosing an NGO and project, it is important that the NGO is aware that there is an expectation to provide some guidance to the students. The NGO is potentially a recipient of a generous donation and a new project, and as such, should be prepared to spend some time with the students, providing input and guiding them as required. They should assist them and encourage them in selecting/creating a project that is in need, sustainable and able to be accomplished with the amount of the first place prize donation. It is important, however that the ideas and plan come from the student teams. 9. Mentors. You can t do this alone! a) What is a mentor? You and your team may have the ideas and the passion and even the skills, but it s always a good idea to check in with the experts. There are many people in our community who will help you champion your cause by sharing their own expertise in certain areas. Your parents, teachers, neighbours, local business people, philanthropists, artists and
8 8 many others are potential mentors for your team. Even if you have some of your own mentors, there will be a scheduled Mentorship meet and greet night, which will provide meeting opportunities for you to ask questions and get advice from local experts about different aspects of your project. Come prepared! Your time will be limited! b) How can a mentor help? In different sections of your project, you may find you need some guidance. ie: in the financial portion where you need to know how to make the project grow, or in the media component where you might need some help with connections or creation, or in the creative presentation you may seek the advice of the arts dept. at your school. Think of those around you that can offer advice. The SDC team will provide opportunities for you to come and meet experts in our community. Plan ahead of time what you want to ask them and be prepared to listen and engage with them. You are encouraged to create a relationship with them beyond the meeting to seek their advice and encouragement throughout the process. It will be a requirement that some or all of your team members attend the mentorship meet up night. 10. Judging Criteria for Students creating a SDC project: The challenge students face in the SDC is to demonstrate how they could help a local or locally based charity make significant progress toward one of the Sustainable Development Goals by spending the awarded funds. First place prize of $5000 goes to the group that convinces the panel of judges that they can get the most bang for their bucks. This is no easy task, and that s where the challenge part comes in!

14 Contact Information: Global Citizen Events Joyce Brinkerhoff (General inquiries & sponsorship) Carmen Denby (SDC coordinator) Rawle James (Mentorship) Harmeet Pakkar (teacher advisor) works in collaboration with SD #23, private & home schools to host the SDC. Global Citizen Kelowna, formed by a group of concerned citizens in 2003, has a two-pronged objective for public engagement activities: 1. to create awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations and which require all governments, NGOs and Civil Society organizations to align within their principles. 2. to promote local organizations which are active in trying to reach one or more of the SDGs and which provide opportunities for others to become involved. In order to fulfill this double objective, GCK organizes annual Global Citizen Events. Usually held in late February, a series of public engagement events are hosted by a variety of international development agencies, university and school-based programs, local service clubs, and cultural groups based in the Okanagan all collectively seeking to raise awareness about they are doing to reach the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Global Citizen Events has grown to include seven major events. These include: a) the Speaker Series (featured guest speaker combined with a global marketplace) b) Global Children s Village (geared for young families) c) Global School House (open to grade six students) d) Artists Eye on the World (arts, drama and photography focus) e) Global Music Fest (young adult focus) f) Taste of Home (cultural food and ethnic celebration) g) The Sustainable Development Challenge (currently open to youth in the Okanagan attending grades 8-12) The Sustainable Development Challenge is the signature senior event of Global Citizen Week and is designed specifically for and with student involvement.
