In September 2015 the world’s leaders committed to 17 global goals to achieve 17 extraordinary things over the next 15 years – and we got involved.
This year the global development goals were rewritten, rereleased and announced on the global UN Development Summit at the end of September.
The reason being that the previous eight goals – stated and released on the millennium shift back in 2000 – had passed their expiry date (15 years) and it was time to align, rewrite and state these 17 new goals.
In collaboration with Global Goals we aim to celebrate and raise awareness around the Development Goals from a creative point of view. We’re bringing together a selection of 17 global designers to each voice their opinions, hopes, fears, thoughts on what the next 15 years will bring. We’re launching 17 with this exhibition here tonight and the initiative will then be taken to Global Goal’s HQ and their dinner reception in early in 2016.
