Developing and conducting online SDGs workshops in collaboration with universities from Taiwan and the ASEAN countries

Abstract

Online educational exchanges have recently become an alternative to on-site events due to the precautions against the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking this change as an opportunity, we developed and conducted online workshops on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are important  issues everyone should address. These workshops were created as follows: 1) programmed as a two- day online meeting. On the first day: 2) self-introduction of participants using the online whiteboard  Miro; 3) presentation of local issues related to the selected SDGs topic in ZOOM by art- communication method; 4) group discussion on the subject; 5) homework using a provided worksheet.  On the second day: 6) presentation based on their homework; 7) preparation of a poster for the final presentation; 8) presentation of the poster result in ZOOM. Although the activity was occasionally interrupted due to internet problems, the participants were satisfied with the activity and hope to invite more students worldwide to future events.
