Apply now for Under the Starry Sky – Youth Action for SDGs!
This nine-month program provides a unique opportunity for young people to receive in-depth training on the SDGs and project management before implementing their own project, with WFUNA’s supervision and guidance. The program will culminate in a multi-day ship expedition in Norway in September 2023, where participants will have the chance to showcase their projects to local businesses and youth.
The program is free of charge, and all costs (including travel, accommodation, and food) are fully covered.
