SABIC partners with JA China to host "Lights of Our Future" sustainable development design competition for the third consecutive year
JA students are having a site tour led by volunteers at SABIC Technology Center in Shanghai.
SABIC, a global leader in diversified chemicals, co-hosted the 2019 ‘Lights of Our Future’ Sustainable Development Design Competition today, with JA China - member of Junior Achievement Worldwide which is one of the world’s largest youth-serving non-profit organizations, focusing on educating students on work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. This competition saw SABIC and JA China jointly lead young students out of the classroom to think about how to cope with the sustainable development challenges facing the city for the third consecutive year since 2017.
As part of SABIC's global signature CSR program – ‘Lights of Our Future’ - and the extension and expansion of the ‘JA-Lights of Our Future’ curriculum, this year's competition focuses on sustainability in urban public spaces, including libraries, community areas and public hubs, and encourages the students to apply the knowledge they acquired throughout the course to enable urban sustainable development and create innovative and feasible renovation plans.
