Episode 4
In 2015, United Nations Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is framed around 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN describes these goals as “an urgent call for action by all countries,” emphasizing the importance of global partnerships.
Each of the 17 SDGs has implications for higher education.
This podcast focuses upon postgraduate researcher (PGR) wellbeing, drawing upon UN SDG 3: Health and wellbeing. In it, we discuss: defining wellbeing; the role of sharing stories; and the importance of listening and collaborating.
The podcast is led by Dr Sally Sharp of the Open University.
