WHO ARE WE?

GNSD aims to connect youth worldwide, and empower young people to be change makers. We educate students about principles of environmental and social sustainability, as well as about the importance of non-violent conflict resolutions. Learning by doing is one of the most effective methods for achieving this goal. We intend to involve students in community projects through Peace and Sustainability Clubs we create in schools globally.
​
GNSD was launched in Kathmandu in November 2014.  For the first two years the network was functioning as a project of Arizona State University, and in August 2017 it was registered in Arizona as an acting globally NGO. In January 2018 GNSD received a 509 (A) (2) status. Although GNSD is open to partner with governmental and faith based organizations that share its mission, the network does not represent any particular political or religious orientation.

    Dear Friends,

    Wherever you are in the world, we hope you, and your loved ones, stay safe and   
    well. GNSD is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation, and we have decided to
    cancel all upcoming in-person events, both here in the USA and further afield. Although
    schools are getting closed around the world, and we cannot implement our mission in a
    usual way, we as a network want to continue to support not only our members, but also
    our communities.

Over the coming weeks, we will be increasing our online presence to provide you with the relevant information, and advice you how you could contribute to making your community sustainable. We are fighting for sustainability of our world.

In times like the one we are facing now, you have an opportunity to show what you're made of.  You can do your part, at the same time caring about those who are more vulnerable. We all know that fear and self-induced stress can compromise our own body, and the ability to meaningfully, rationally respond to the world.  Don’t let yourself to go there, but please take care of yourself and your community. These are unprecedented times, but there is also hope.

Stephen Daniel
Secretary of GNSD
