Global Goals JamGlobal Goals JamLearn

The GGJ Host Programme

Host an amazing jam for the Global Goals.

Nine modules, one weekend-shaped outcome: everything you need to design, run and sustain a Global Goals Jam in your city — taught the way jams work. You leave holding a complete jam plan, not a pile of notes.

Co-founded with UNDP in 2016 · jams in 60+ countries · from the people behind the Digital Society School & Metodic

One method. Four sprints.

The spine of every jam — and of this programme.

09:00

Sprint 1

Understand

Map the system behind your challenge — who it touches, why it persists.

11:00

Sprint 2

Define

Converge on a sharp 'how might we', anchored to a real SDG target.

13:30

Sprint 3

Prototype

Make it tangible fast; test the riskiest assumption with real people.

15:30

Sprint 4

Implement

Plan the path to real-world impact — owners, partners, next steps.

Every module leaves something on the table.

No quizzes, no lectures-for-the-sake-of-it. Each module ends in an artefact about your jam — and the eight artefacts stack into your capstone: a complete, reviewed jam plan.

Capstone

The Jam Facilitator

A coach in the room, not a grader at the gate.

Your work is reviewed the way a good facilitator reviews it: what’s strong, what’s thin, one deeper question, one concrete next move. Nothing is ever failed — it’s not there yet, and you improve it together, as many rounds as it takes.

Built on the same Facilitator engine that powers Metodic’s professional programmes.
