«We don't want to talk about young people – we want to talk with them»

In this interview, SDC Director General Patricia Danzi talks about the International Cooperation Forum Switzerland and explains why it's so important to include young people in the discussion. Education is one of the most important sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda – and it's also one of the goals that suffers from acute financing problems. What does that mean for those who are impacted? And most importantly, how can we stop this harmful trend? This year's edition of the IC Forum will shine a spotlight on education.

Education can help countries recover more quickly from shocks. Being well educated also means being able to make decisions more freely.
When we talk about how multidimensional global problems are, then we need different approaches to solving them.
