They will learn social media and marketing techniques from experts in the field and hear from community advocates and public figures on how to take advantage of these platforms. They will also build relationships with their local and global communities, as they work together to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By the end of the program, participants will launch social media campaigns to engage Indigenous communities in the SDGs and to create awareness of the powerful social movements happening in Indigenous communities!
