The Global Goals Summit is Durham University’s signature youth summit, a local convening of young people who want to make a true impact on the global challenges we all face. The overall aim is to find new ways to mobilise, empower, and inspire young people to take action toward the Sustainable Development Goals. This year's Summit will focus upon SDG 16 - peace, justice and strong institutions.
