  • Join us for the Duke-UNICEF Virtual Forum on Social Innovation happening throughout the week of October 31!

    • This annual week-long event brings together voices from around the world—from academia, iNGOs, business, and social enterprise—to deepen the conversation around the sustainable development goals, specifically the WASH-focused SDG 6, and social innovation. Through highly interactive sessions, webinars, and networking events, we will explore how social innovation can fill the gaps in working towards equitable and safely managed sanitation, water, and health for all. The event harnesses lessons learned from the Duke-UNICEF Innovation Accelerator—a unique partnership between Duke University and the United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF) that identifies and strengthens social enterprises tackling the greatest WASH challenges facing children around the world. The week will provide opportunities for students to engage with innovators and help them solve real world problems, hear and learn from UNICEF field experts, and discuss the intersection of the SDGs and innovation. We will also host a pitch event where entrepreneurs from Cohort 3 (working in East Asia and the Pacific) will present their solutions alongside members of Cohort 2 (working in Africa). Join us to meet the inspiring social entrepreneurs working to change the world.
