Higher Education - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
ReImagine17 [RE17] is a Canadian non-profit working to reimagine progress towards sustainable development through intersectional & interdisciplinary collaboration. Our goal is to amplify youth action towards the SDGs by creating spaces for knowledge-sharing, program development, and advocacy between institutions of higher education. RE17 emerged from the 2020 SDSN Together Conference, where our co-founders—each representing SDG student groups at their respective universities—connected virtually and identified opportunities for further collaboration. We envisioned the creation of a national community of practice around youth-led SDG action; a space to support student-run SDG hubs and Alliances at post-secondary campuses across Canada. ReImagine 17 was the culmination of our efforts to create this space and generate momentum towards SDG engagement among our universities.When creating RE17, we identified three central problems:1) There are few central hubs to coordinate between student-led SDG initiatives at the university level and leverage their collective potential.2) Opportunities to engage with the SDGs are confined predominantly to students at core Canadian institutions and major cities, limiting the diversity of perspectives involved in SDG action. 3) Conversations surrounding sustainability and sustainable development are often siloed and separated, compromising efficient progress towards the SDG framework. Our programmes and resources are designed to tackle these unique challenges, thereby nurturing ambitious projects towards SDG engagement among student groups and our partner institutions.
