UNLEASH The Real Power of Education
Though a free, quality primary and secondary school education for every child is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals — but I believe education not just a goal but the very SDGs’ motherboard, thus vital for all of the global goals.
Education is both a goal in itself and a means for attaining all the other SDGs. It is not only an integral part of sustainable development, but also a key enabler for it. That is why education represents an essential strategy in the pursuit of the SDG. In the words of Kolleen Bouchane, “Education has a unique power to catalyse gains in other areas. Very few, if any, health or economic interventions will be sustainable without gains in education.”
The sustainable solution is to UNLEASH Our education systems to respond to the pressing needs by defining relevant learning objectives and learning contents, introducing pedagogies that empower learners, and urging their institutions to include sustainability principles in their management structures. I guess what I am saying is, The UNLEASH concept should be replicated in our different countries on national and local community level. UNLEASH is a global innovation lab that brings together people from all over the world to transform 1,000 personal insights into hundreds of ideas, and build lasting global networks around the Sustainable Development Goals.
Called Charles Miracle Lipenga, trained Architect and turned into a social entrepreneur based in Malawi, Africa, operating as the CEO of Maestros Leadership team and the Commonwealth Youth champion for Africa & Europe. I am so privileged and grateful to God to be among top global talents for #UNLEASHLab2017 in Denmark.

The core of Maestros Leadership Team’s Action Plan aims at engaging the youth in addressing all 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN in 3 sections:
1st Component — Developing marketing campaigns to have every global young person understand & engage in the SDGs.
2nd Component — Creating local and global partnerships with existing projects and organizations to strengthen each other’s impact on the SDGs.
3rd Component — Developing and implementing new projects which contribute to achieving the Global goals and we use Education as a key component in covering all SDGs, Time to UNLEASH the real power of education. LETS DO THIS #TeamMaestros #UNLEASHLab2017
We are especially interested in developing and equipping young people into leaders who have purpose, motivated by service to humanity and driven by sustainable results to achieve an Africa that is politically, socially and economically successful. LET’S DO THIS. http://maestrosleaders.org/
