Team The Ark (A1) - Local Actions for Global Goals

"Education is often called the great equalizer, yet for millions of students worldwide, it remains an unfulfilled promise.......To bridge this gap, we created EduConnection, a student-led platform that enables knowledge-sharing, tutoring, and mentorship among students worldwide. By providing free access to study materials, student-led discussions, and mentorship programs, EduConnection fosters a collaborative learning environment. This initiative directly addresses Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education by ensuring students receive the support they need. It also aligns with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, emphasizing cooperation between students, teachers, and mentors." ~ Team The Ark, Buddies Without Borders Online Forum

From refugee camps in Turkey to rural areas in Spain to underfunded neighborhoods in India to low-income districts in the USA, Team The Ark proposes an online educational mentorship program to bridge the gap and make the world a better place.

Think Globally, Act Locally. Global Goals can only be achieved by global citizens with local sensitivity. Given the opportunity, we asked the participants what change project they would create in their own community to help make the world a better place, and here are their answers.
