Global Day. Stories for Change

The Global Day. Stories for Change connects the media industry with development policy actors to promote effective communication of the 17 Global Goals and the Agenda 2030. It presents strategies and best practice cases on how moving image content can be successfully used to communicate development policy issues. This year, the focus will be on institutions, which make many important projects possible in the first place by supporting strong charitable organizations. Following Global Day, the NRW Media Award for Sustainable Development and Engagement, which celebrates its fifth anniversary this year, will be awarded jointly with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
