Korea-Nordic Future challenge: Delegate on SDGs

From January to August, I participated in the Korea-Nordic Future challenge, a dynamic program held across South Korea, Finland, and Sweden. Supported by the Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies (KFAS), this was a fantastic opportunity to engage with innovators focused on sustainable technology and green transformation. The event emphasized a theme central to my own work: fostering collaboration to solve complex urban challenges.

Drawing from my experience organizing community engagement and urban sustainability workshops, I appreciated the summit’s focus on connecting diverse groups to achieve shared goals. It highlighted that creating sustainable futures is a global effort that requires open dialogue and cultural exchange, reinforcing the importance of building bridges between academia, industry, and local communities.
