Think Global, Link Local (TGLL) is a networking event that focuses on providing a personal platform for organizations, through their Table Captain representative(s), to connect with undergraduate and postgraduate students who are passionate about not-for-profit and non-governmental work.
This event is organized by the United Nations Association in Canada-Vancouver (www.unacvancouver.org) in collaboration with KPU’s NGO and Nonprofit Studies program (https://www.kpu.ca/arts/ngo).
During the event, Table Captains will meet with students around a table, sharing their organization’s passions, goals, and programs both on a local level and how these ideals and works affect the world at large.
This allows organizations to raise awareness through the community about the work they do, as well as connect with potential volunteers. The goal of this event is to foster passion, turning thoughts into action through education, encouragement, and social connection.
COMING SOON! TGLL 2025

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
The 17 SDGs are: (1) No Poverty, (2) Zero Hunger, (3) Good Health and Well-being, (4) Quality Education, (5) Gender Equality, (6) Clean Water and Sanitation, (7) Affordable and Clean Energy, (8) Decent Work and Economic Growth, (9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, (10) Reduced Inequality, (11) Sustainable Cities and Communities, (12) Responsible Consumption and Production, (13) Climate Action, (14) Life Below Water, (15) Life On Land, (16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, (17) Partnerships for the Goals.
On the 75th anniversary of the United Nations and the 5th anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals – in the midst of a pandemic radically transforming our economies and societies – this 30-minute film tells the story of the world as it is, as it was, and as it could be.
Directed by renowned film maker Richard Curtis and produced by the documentary film company 72 Films, “Nations United” presents the facts, data, and opportunities we have as a human family to reimagine and reshape the future. The film will be broadcast on numerous television channels, radio stations and streaming services around the world.
