Samsung and UNDP Expand Youth Leaders in 'Generation17' Project

Samsung Electronics and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) announced on the 29th that they have additionally selected three youth leaders for the 'Generation17' project, which supports young people and the achievement of the 17 Global Goals by 2030.

The selected youth leaders are Mok Ijun from Singapore (Co-founder of Advisory Singapore), Juber Junjunia from the United Kingdom (Founder of Ginot), and Priscilla Efe Johnson from Nigeria (Founder of Zari Africa).

Newly selected for 'Generation 17' are Jubeor Junjunia (from the left), Priscilla Efe Johnson, and Mok Ijun.

Generation17 was established in October 2010 to spread the influential activities of young people toward achieving the 17 Global Goals. The Global Goals include quality education, poverty eradication, ending hunger, healthy lives and well-being, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure development, reducing inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, partnerships for the goals, and building peaceful, just, and inclusive institutions.

The youth leaders are conducting mentoring programs using the latest Galaxy devices and technologies from Samsung Electronics and UNDP, and are active in more than 50 countries worldwide. In particular, they participate in various global events such as the Samsung Electronics Unpacked event, the Cannes International Advertising Festival, and the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum to promote activities aimed at achieving the Global Goals.

Meanwhile, various activities of 'Generation17' can be viewed through the 'Samsung Global Goals' application. The 'Samsung Global Goals' app is a platform where Galaxy users can participate in realizing the Global Goals. Users can directly donate through this app or indirectly donate advertising revenue generated each time they view ads. Through this app, a cumulative donation of 10 million dollars was achieved last October. The donations are used to address social and environmental issues worldwide.

Notae-moon Noh, President of Samsung Electronics MX Division, said, "We expect to inspire the Galaxy community to adopt mindsets and actions for a better future and to bring about positive change."
