On September 25, 2015, the United Nations accepted 17 Global Goals that should be achieved by 2030. The purpose of the Global Goals is to lead the world towards a more sustainable and fair future.

At Språkstudion, we highlight and discuss one of the Global Goals each week. At our Language Cafes we have texts and information material for the current week's goal available as discussion material during the cafes. Språkstudion's staff members are also actively emphasizing the Global Goals at internal meetings and we make efforts to spread knowledge regarding the Global Goals online and on campus. We try to contribute to a broadened understanding of the Global Goals, by including viewpoints spanning from from the humanities to the natural sciences.

We believe that we can make a difference in the world. Do you want to join us in the efforts regarding the Global Goals? Visit one of our Language Cafes, follow us on Instagram or write to us to join the discussion.
