In the Segue 2.0 Global Design Thinking Challenge, we’re really interested in linking new ideas and ways of doing things with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are 17 big goals created to solve some of the world’s toughest problems by 2030. In a special part of the challenge, participants can focus on connecting their new ideas with one or more of these goals. This makes their ideas even more powerful and helpful on a global level.
