We Aim to Align With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
We Aim to Align With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The UN Sustainable Development Goals are a global framework of 17 interconnected goals designed to build a fairer, healthier, more equitable and sustainable world by 2030. They address global challenges related to education, well-being, equality, communities, environment and partnerships.
Beyond Horizons Institute’s work contributes to several of these goals:.
Our outdoor programs promote physical activity, mental health and emotional resilience, helping young people lead healthier, more balanced lives.
Through structured learning in leadership, navigation, teamwork and personal development, we offer educational opportunities that go beyond the classroom and support lifelong learning.
By focusing on rural and regional youth, we help reduce geographic inequality in access to high-quality youth development programs.
By fostering environmental awareness, stewardship and climate literacy through outdoor education. By immersing young people in natural landscapes, our programs help participants understand the real-world impacts of climate change on ecosystems, weather patterns and biodiversity.
Our outdoor experiences foster respect for nature and teaching minimal impact environmental stewardship, supporting the sustainable use and appreciation of terrestrial ecosystems.
We build collaborative relationships with schools, councils, community groups and other organisations to create inclusive, supportive pathways for youth development.
By aligning with these goals, we not only change individual lives but also contribute to broader global efforts to create a more equitable and sustainable world.
