Young People Flipping the Script in Ecuador: Empowering Youth to Lead the Way on Sustainable Development Goals
The “Young People Flipping the Script in Ecuador” initiative tackles stagnant progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by empowering young Ecuadorians to become leaders in creating a more sustainable future.

A Call to Action: Reignite Progress on the SDGs
Ecuador’s official commitment to the SDGs has seen setbacks with cancelled programs and disbanded working groups. The COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis further hindered progress. This initiative seeks to reignite momentum.

Building from the Ground-Up: Youth at the Forefront
“Flipping the Script” fosters a youth-led approach with three key components:

Open House: This event creates a space for young people and emerging civil society organisations to connect, share ideas, and forge partnerships, fostering collaboration for change.

Mingas de Ideación (Collective Design Thinking): Utilising design thinking methodologies, participants will co-create concrete proposals to address specific SDG challenges in their communities.

SDGTalks: A series of talks and presentations will equip participants with the knowledge, inspiration, and advocacy skills needed to champion their solutions and propel Ecuador back towards achieving the SDGs.

By empowering young Ecuadorians as leading actors, the initiative aims to unlock a wave of innovative solutions and reignite progress on achieving a sustainable future for all.

Key objective

“Young People Flipping the Script in Ecuador” will:

  • Empower young Ecuadorians to participate in the Open House and Mingas de Ideación workshops.
  • Facilitate the development of concrete proposals addressing various SDG targets through collaborative design thinking sessions.
  • Secure partnerships with established civil society organisations working on sustainable development issues in Ecuador.
