The SUNY COIL Global Commons 2020 used the UN Sustainable Development Goals to frame students’ exploration of some of the most challenging problems facing the world. The 6-week program, which took place July 6 – August 10, included two 3-credit courses and collaborative storytelling-based projects between SUNY students and Community based and Non-Governmental Organizations in Africa and the Middle East. You can browse the impressive projects in the program’s showcase.
