Have a green Christmas 2022 with the College of Management and SDGs!

In response to numerous global issues, such as climate change, pollution, resource depletion, wealth disparity, and food insecurity, in 2015 the United Nations announced their 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 goals to guide global efforts toward sustainability.

In order to promote the SDGs’ aim of sustainable development, NSYSU’s College of Management is adopting the theme of “Green Christmas” to encourage students to make the best use of resources by reusing seemingly worthless materials and make this year’s Christmas memorable and meaningful.

Objective:

Students will design and create an original set of Christmas decorations for the College of Management, demonstrating the theme of “Green Christmas.” The design must (1) incorporate environmental protection and a low-carbon mindset to reduce the consumption of resources and energy in Christmas decorations, and (2) highlight the efforts and achievements of the students and faculty of the College of Management in SDGs in order to highlight the importance of SDGs for everyone to see.

Eligibility:

  1. Students (excluding exchange students) who are enrolled in the College of Management of National Sun Yat-sen University and have official student status.
