How we can use innovation to tackle inequality
In a new campaign run by the Global Goals Centre, in partnership with Bristol24/7, a new local hero is being celebrated every week for their work to tackle poverty, inequality and climate change.
In the ninth week of the campaign, the focus of the Sustainable Development Goals is industry and innovation. Bristol’s hero, who has been taking positive action to tackle the issue, is Sarah Selby.
Sarah was nominated due to her interactive work bringing nature and digital together. Her work raises issues about the effect of digital, both positive and negative on the natural world and uses technology in innovative ways to discuss how humans and technology can improve the environment together.
is needed now More than ever
Sarah worked with the Creative Youth Network, a charity that works with 11 to 25-year-olds and engages them in arts and creativity, alongside professional youth work.
By bringing young people from hard to reach communities together with professional creatives and new technologies, the Creative Youth Network finds ways for their voices to be heard and ideas developed.
The Global Goals Centre is an education charity using creative ways to inspire a fairer, greener future, has worked in partnership with 17 local community organisations, Bristol24/7’s Better Bristol and creative agency Tusko, to create this campaign, which is supported by Bristol City Council and the Bristol Climate Hub.
A series of 17 short videos, one for each of the 17 Global Goals, are being released from Tuesday 6th July. Each one highlights a Bristol hero who is doing something inspiring to help reach that Goal.
