Hands-On Experience for Applying SDGs to the Business Field
The Faculty of Business Administration, Economics, and Political Science hosted a team of guest speakers from the National Institute of Governance and Sustainable Development (NIGSD) during the lecture of Organisational Change and Development (OCD) Module.
On October 22, 2023, both modules: The Organisational Change and Development (OCD) module, led by Dr Maha Dajani and Ms Mai Al Qersh, joined with the Management of International Companies (MIC), led by Professor Hadia Fakhr ELDin , Dr Marwa Anis and Ms Lamis Morsi, hosted Mr Nader Nour ELDin, Head of Awareness and Communication Unit, of the National Institute of Governance and Sustainable Development (NIGSD), and his team to conduct an interactive session pertaining the application of the UN 17-SDGs within the business context.
Mr Nader and his team applied a gamification approach in order to engage students in understanding the 17 Sustainable Development Goals from a variety of angles, explore how they are interwoven, and lastly talk about how they may be used as solutions to business problems in various countries. The students utilised flip charts and various cards to portray each of the 17- UN SDGs. They worked in groups, and the results were imaginative; their outcomes demonstrated creative insights on the conventional understanding of these 17- SDGs.
