We present to you: Goalkeepers in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. A day of stories, drama and data around our progress to inspire more action to achieve the #GlobalGoals.
This week students in Norway are preparing for a visit to the United States to work on the 17 Global Goals together with students at Lindenhurst high school.

Can we end hunger and poverty, halt climate change and achieve gender equality in the next 15 years? The governments of the world think we can. Meeting at the UN in September 2015, they agreed to a new set of Global Goals for the development of the world to 2030. Social progress expert Michael Green invites us to imagine how these goals and their vision for a better world can be achieved.
