A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Western University has held the World’s Challenge Challenge for Western students over the past seven years. More than 30 teams compete annually by presenting their unique ideas to a panel of academic and community leaders.
In 2017, we held the first World’s Challenge Challenge Global Final, pooling the talents and creativity of bright students from across Canada and around the world. The mission of the competition is to bring together students from a wide range of institutions, cultures and continents to form a strong international network and create even greater potential solutions to significant global issues. Last year's World's Challenge Challenge focused specifically on addressing the UN SDGs.
