Our aim

Our mission at UNSA Vienna is to shed light on issues or perspectives that may not receive a lot of visibility. For this purpose, we engage with renowned diplomats and experts to create a relevant dialogue. Within the framework of the SDGs, one of the goals is to find practical solutions that take into account the cultural, social and societal context. Realistic concepts, critical views and discourses are welcome to challenge the international community and everyone else interested/involved to look past the simple explanation of the SDGs. We address an internationally orientated community, but specific and local conditions and their structures are to be examined.

Our motivation

Vienna serves as an international centre linking the university, international organisations, the UN and foreign representations - a great treasure box to tap into. Therefore, to bring in a niche for this blog as to not serve as a competition of the UN’s SDG Blog, https://www.un.org/en/desa/sdg-blog, we will focus per month on a different representation based in Vienna, which can involve additional interviews from other experts and overseas representations to support the overall story - covering topics such as feminist foreign policy, film culture as a means to justice, and climate solutions. This will strengthen our partnerships and position as a niche org based in Vienna.

Our means

Giving a Voice to Diplomats and Expert in Vienna on relevant topics related to the SDGs.

Kreativität ist ein wunderbarer Weg, um auf Dinge aufmerksam zu machen, die in unserer Welt falsch laufen. In Hinblick auf unseren Kunstwettbewerb sind wir auch selbst ein bisschen kreativ geworden und veröffentlichen hier einen Text, den unsere Mitarbeiterin Flora geschrieben hat. Viel Spaß!
