Introduction
The SJTU SDG July Camp is a program that integrates the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) within a multidisciplinary framework. It engages a diverse body of students through a series of collaborative and interdisciplinary courses, lectures, and activities. With a shared vision for a sustainable future, the program has been supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
This annual program has been well-received by students since its very first round, and it continues to improve year on year. The feedback from the latest SJTU SDG July Camp in 2025 found that 95% of the participants rated their experience above four stars on a five-star scale.
In 2026, the SJTU July Camp will offer 9 SDG-related courses. Through collaborative international learning, you will engage in a community of learners and work with peers from around the world through group discussions, teamwork, and/or group projects. You will learn more about pressing global issues and formulate possible solutions. The student-oriented learning format will enable you to develop international cooperation skills and global competence.
If you are interested in the UN SDGs, enjoy meeting peers from around the world, and tackling challenges in a classroom setting, these courses are just RIGHT for you!
