How Students Participate:

Student-Led WAGIN Workshops

• Each WAGIN Project Team is invited to present. All workshops are youth-led (presenting a workshop is not required but is encouraged). All students who attend the conference are invited to present workshop sessions about action projects that they have carried out or that they plan to carry out (connected to one or more of the 21 global issues and/or one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals).
