SDG Week 2022

The theme of the 2022 Stakeholder Conference is "Care". This theme focuses on issues directly related to environmental and social sustainability - two of the three pillars of sustainable development - in employment, labor and care relationships, and environmental practices. The conference will look at care-related issues in work for a more sustainable future across a range of inclusion topics, to promote responsible organizational behavior between organizations, species, and groups for both human and non-human actors.

With the annual conference we aim at bridging academia and stakeholders in discussing how we organise responsibly for the challenges the world is facing.

Since 2017, the Responsible Organising Stakeholder Conference has gathered around 70+ experts and 700+ participants representing all stakeholder groups ranging from business actors, representatives of civil society, students, alumni, and to the general public in order to bring science closer to the world.

Volunteering platform

The main goal of the Youth Revolution project is to get young people to experience solidarity, subsidiarity and socialize among themselves. This is achieved through different solidarity activities that we have been developing.

The project is free for young people and is designed so that they benefit from each and every one of these activities.

Activities:

Cooking for others (cooking food for families in need)
Food for others (food distribution in small groups)
Mentoring (giving educational and personal support for kids)
Knitting for others (knitting scarfs and soks for elderly people)

Check out activities Hanken Library is up to this week! For example Hanken's Library provides books for free all week. You can find the nook in Garderoben from Monday to Friday, come and find treasures.
