European Sustainable Development Week is an initiative that aims to encourage and raise awareness of activities promoting sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across Europe. It usually takes place every year from 30 May to 5 June.
Due to the health crisis linked to COVID-19, the SDD 2020 wished to take into account the possible postponements of activities scheduled during the initial period of the SDD, following the various health instructions applied.
Thus, to give organizers the opportunity to plan their events on a new date, it was decided to postpone SDD2020 from September 18 to October 8, with the heart of the week from September 20 to 26.
The SDD recognizes the importance of sustainable development, especially in this time of crisis, and stresses that it is important not to lose sight of sustainable development. Therefore, the SDD would like to encourage activities to take place now to provide relief, support and “kind” responses to the crisis in the spirit of the SDGs if they can be carried out safely or in a virtual setting.

Last September, Fondacio participated in the Convergences World Forum. Launched in 2008, Convergences is the first reflection platform in Europe that aims to build new convergences between public, private and solidarity actors to promote the Sustainable Development Goals and the development of a world "Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, Zero Poverty." Fondacio is one of the international technical partners and participated in the editions in Colombia and the Philippines a few months ago. Due to the COVID19 crisis, the 2020 edition of the World Forum has been canceled and will take place in 2021! We hope to see you there!
