Example Timeline for a half day and full day
SDG implementation workshop in COMMUNITIES
Target groups: The SDG workshops are geared towards adult audiences in local
settings for SDG implementation work, like local public entities (e.g. local councils/
authorities), community groups, but also for NGOs as well as local businesses (SMEs).
Note: The half day workshop is geared towards 5 hours including breaks (e.g. 8am
to 1pm) and the full day workshop is geared towards 8 hours duration including
breaks. The workshops can also be conducted in the form of two half day
workshops on separate days. The suggested duration of exercises is indicative only
based on our experience, but can be adapted to specific needs and priorities
(expanded or reduced).
