17.4 Education for the SDGs
Have dedicated outreach educational activities for the wider community, which could include alumni, local residents, displaced people
UNHAS is committed to empowering local residents and displaced people through inclusive education and outreach, with many dedicated outreach educational activities to support alumni, local communities and marginalized groups. In November 2024 the Faculty of Public health community outreach program held a series of 24 community outreach and education events focused on SDGs 3 (health and wellbeing), 4 (quality education) and 11 (sustainable cities and communities) providing benefits to over 800 local people. In March 2024 the Faculty of Law partnered with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to hold a talk show “Getting to Know Foreign Refugees in Makassar.” Attended by more than 200 people, including refugee representatives, this event enabled refugees to share their experiences, culture and challenges, engaging with academics, policymakers, and the public. These initiatives highlight UNHAS’ commitment to inclusion and empowering local residents and displaced people.
