Our Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Business students organised an inspiring event to raise awareness of the UN Sustainability Goals! 🌍

Each group chose a UN Goal and created engaging activities and informative posters to show students how these global goals are relevant right here in Devon.

Over eight weeks, the students learned project management theory and put it into practice – from conducting skills audits to forming effective teams, to planning and delivering their event. They hope to inspire fellow students to get curious about the UN Goals and get involved in community projects!
