On September 25, 2015, at the United Nations, New York, 193 world leaders will adopt 17 Global Goals to end extreme poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change for everyone by 2030. The Global Goals campaign is a global collaborative effort to ensure that these “Goals are world famous and that they are successfully acted upon.”
Project Everyone was founded by Richard Curtis, filmmaker and founder of Comic Relief.
If the goals are met, they ensure the health, safety and future of the planet for everyone on it. And their best chance of being met is if everyone on the planet is aware of them.
Create artwork or photography for The Global Goals and The United Nations
The 17 Global Goals
The #GlobalGoals could get these things done in all countries. For all people.
The Global Goals campaign invites artists, designers and photographers from around the world to create artwork inspired by one of the 17 Global Goals for sustainable development.
- Artists should read about each goal at https://www.talenthouse.com/i/create-artwork-for-the-global-goals, “get inspired by the accompanying graphics and interpret them through an original and innovative piece of artwork.”
So the simple but mighty ambition of Project Everyone – is to share the global goals with 7 billion people in 7 days from September 25 – October 2, 2015…
During this week, there will be a concert in Central Park in New York with headliners including Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, Pearl Jam and Chris Martin and a global media campaign that highlights the importance of this historic moment.
