In alignment with SDG 4 (Quality Education), these outreach efforts are designed to promote sustainability values, knowledge sharing, and capacity-building among alumni, local residents, and displaced communities across Sabah.
In 2024, JUC implemented a series of SDG education outreach initiatives, each tailored to the unique needs of different community groups. These programs are not only educational in nature, but also directly support the localisation of global goals through awareness, skill-building, and empowerment.
- SDG Awareness & Environmental Sustainability Workshop
Target Group: JUC Alumni, Students, Faculty
In collaboration with TAME, JUC conducted a practical learning session on SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Participants explored sustainable production methods, waste segregation, upcycling processes, and community-based waste management systems. The session provided alumni and students with real-world applications of circular economy principles, deepening their understanding of sustainability beyond academic theory.
- Inspiring Educational Success: Motivational Talk for Local Youth
Target Group: Secondary School Students from Local Communities
This education outreach programme introduced SDG 4 values to young learners through motivational seminars focused on personal development, goal setting, and the transformative power of education. Real-life success stories were shared to foster hope, discipline, and confidence, encouraging participants to pursue academic achievement and lifelong learning despite socioeconomic challenges.
- Empowering Youth at Pulau Gaya: NTW Outreach for Displaced Communities
Target Group: Stateless and displaced youth from Pulau Gaya
As part of the National Training Week (NTW), JUC reached out to marginalized populations residing on Pulau Gaya with an SDG 4-focused training session.
