DAY 3 AGENDA — HOW CAN WE COMMUNICATE THE SDGS IN GERMANY AND ACROSS EUROPE?

DAY 3 AGENDA — CLOSING PLENARY 14.00 CLOSING PLENARY PLENARY HALL

TURNING IDEAS INTO ACTION Moderator:



DISRUPTION AND STORYTELLING

GET EVERYBODY ON BOARD. STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION AND THE SDGS

RHINE LOBBY LANGUAGE: GERMAN Die 17 Ziele verlangen nach tiefgreifenden Veränderungen in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Dieser Prozess wird gerne pessimistisch beäugt, dabei bietet er viel Raum neue Zukunftsentwürfe und Technologien – eine Fundgrube für Storytelling. Doch wie spannt man geschickt den Bogen von einzelnen Innovationen zum großen Ganzen der disruptiven Wirkung der SDGs? Wie kann durch Storytelling zum Mitmachen und eigenen Engagement animiert werden (Stichwort: Umdenken / gesellschaftlicher Wandel)? Wie kann durch kommunikative Partnerschaften noch mehr Breitenwirkung erzielt werden? Referenten: Jürgen Kütemeyer, Geschäftsführer, trio-group GmbH Wiltrud Terlau, Gründungsdirektorin, Internationales Zentrum für Nachhaltige Entwicklung (IZNE) / Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg Carsten Tilger, Head of Communications, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA *The track: ‘How can we communicate the SDGs in Germany and across Europe’ was made possible with the assistance of the European Union in the framework of the project “EYD 2015: The future we want – Local Authorities for Sustainable Development”. The contents of this event are the sole responsibility of the City of Bonn and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Union.
