In the compilation video, VVSG demonstrate howDeinze, Halle and Harelbeke already systematically include theAgenda 2030 in their policy planning, citizen participation and monitoring systems.

SDG awareness raising:
To make real work of the SDGs in your city or municipality, it is important that employees as well as citizens know about the 17 goals and how they themselves can contribute to them. In this compilation video, VVSG shows how Bruges, Sint-Niklaas, Eeklo and Deinze carry out creative actions to make the SDGs better known among local officials, politicians, young people, schools and the general public.
