As the world struggles to meet the 2030 Agenda, it has become increasingly clear that siloed approaches to the 17 SDGs are insufficient. This participatory online workshop explores how unitive principles—recognizing the inherent interconnectedness of people, place & planet—offer a transformative foundation for sustainable, equitable & innovative action, with particular emphasis on SDG 17.
Participants will engage with 3 successful real-world initiatives that intentionally place unitive principles at the core of their design and implementation, and have demonstrated how unitive principles support collaborative, equitable, innovative & coordinated actions. These case studies demonstrate measurable outcomes achieved through a “unitive principles-first” approach—showing how projects grounded in explicit values generate greater coherence, sustainability, and impact and accelerate transformation.
Through dialogue, reflection, and practical examples, participants will gain insights into how unitive principles can be activated in their own work—moving beyond fragmented solutions toward integrated, principle-driven responses to global challenges.
Event co-organized by the Unitive Cluster within the NGO Major Groups at the UN and the Brahma Kumaris.
