Dear Friends,
Our member of network SSCW has a pleasure to invite EuroMed Network members to take part in the upcoming international conference “Global Conversation 2021”. Under titel: “A green, socially sustainable and digitally integrated world“, that takes place on 26-29th August 2021 in Narva, Estonia.
Global Conversation 2021 is a four-day international conference that will include an intensive program of high-level discussions, working groups about the achievement of the UN SDGs in societies with growing youth unemployment, intensifying climate change, and ever deeper economic, social and racial divisions. The conference will connect regional networks of practitioners, policy-makers, civil society organizations, media, and international donors in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
The aim of the conference is to explore the implementation of the UN75 declaration and promote new international cooperation for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, human and digital rights, intercultural dialogue, climate change, and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for COP 26.
The international event is open to all interested individuals, representatives from public, private, and civil society sectors, who are interested or working daily for implementation of UN SDG-s, including representatives from youth organizations, educational institutions, governmental organizations, national and regional human rights institutions and so on.
During the conference, the Tallinn Declaration will be finalized and approved, together with local Citizens’ action plans, which will be submitted to the UN General Assembly, European Commission, various international and governmental organizations, and the media.
The Conference program provides a great opportunity to explore the north coast of Estonia, in beautiful Narva and its neighborhood near Russian border (Ida-Virumaa County).
