As a participant in the MAGIC Program, you’ll embark on an exciting journey to explore and address global challenges! Here’s what you’ll take part in:
You’ll be assigned a pressing global issue to investigate in depth. Understanding the complexities of this issue is the first step toward proposing effective solutions.
Represent a specific European country and research a Global Sustainability Goal (SDG) through the lens of that nation. This will allow you to explore unique national perspectives, challenges, and strategies related to your assigned goal.
Dive into your country’s policies, culture, and ongoing efforts to achieve the assigned SDG. Investigate how your country is addressing the goal, the progress it has made, and the challenges it faces. This research will help you understand your country’s role in the global effort toward a more sustainable future.
Design a colourful, informative display board that showcases your findings and represents your country in a visually engaging way.
Draft a Blueprint for Change — a written proposal that outlines the issue, highlights key problems, and presents practical, country-based solutions. This will be a central element of your conference presentation.
Participate in a series of Zoom sessions with students from other schools. These workshops will help guide your research, support your preparation, and give you a platform to collaborate with peers.
As a MAGIC participant, you are expected to:
