Walk The Global Walk is a European educational programme which focuses on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in Normandy; since 2017, it has encouraged young people from Europe to take an active role in developing a culture of peace and promoting the SDGs through human rights and citizenship education.

Supported by the European Commission and developed in partnership with thirteen European countries, the programme enables a thousand college students in Normandy to commit to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals throughout the school year. The International Institute for Human Rights and Peace oversees this project in Normandy.

This year, some 500 young people will take part in Walk The Global Walk on Thursday 1 October: it will leave from Abbaye-aux-Dames, where the Normandy World Peace Forum will be held, and will arrive at the Presqu’île in Caen where workshops on sustainable development will be organised.
