Since 2018, MY World 360˚ creators have been using immersive storytelling and design to shine a spotlight on the issues most relevant to them and their communities and to inspire action on the Sustainable Development Goals, a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.
In MY World 360º, youth and emerging creators from around the world prototype and produce thought-provoking immersive projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible and open up dialogue between the public and policymakers locally and globally.
From climate action reporting to stories of local innovation and resilience, MY World 360º has compiled over 100 immersive stories from creators around the world and screened the official selection as part of United Nations events and activations around the world. The 2020 MY World 360º selection will be screened September 22-24 during the UN General Assembly at the SDG Action Zone, a convening of leading thinkers, actors, creators, and activists working to accelerate action on the Goals.
Dive into the collection to explore important issues impacting youth and emerging creators from around the world.
