RadiciGroup supports a new project aiming at raising awareness on the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals among young people (below the age of 30), which is the ongoing initiative promoted by Global Young Voices (GYV).

In 2016 RadiciGroup came into contact with Global Young Voices, an international association for millennials working in sustainability, whose aim is to improve knowledge about social and environmental issues in young people all over the world, mainly through the use of social media.

Thanks to its work with GYV, RadiciGroup has been able to reach younger people across the world helping to inform them about numerous issues not directly linked to its own business, but highly relevant from the viewpoint of sustainability.

These weeks are crucial for the contest launched by Global Young Voices among projects, foundations, non-profit organisations or start-ups (already founded or in the process of being launched) run by young people who aim, through their work, to make one or more of the SDGs a reality. The winner will receive EUR 1,000 to be used to finance his or her initiative.

All the submissions were screened, and 21 projects have been selected by GYV and RadiciGroup. Now it’s up to voters. Global Young Voices considers Facebook as its most successful platform, attracting more than 63,000 followers. Therefore, the application receiving the largest number of likes or any other positive emoticons on Global Young Voices’ Facebook page will win the competition. Voting will be possible until 30 September 2018.
