First race “No dejar a nadie atrás”
NON-COMPETITIVE SPORTING EVENT BY SDGs
Organised by: UPM, INEF, EELISA, and Global Challenge
#ItsTimeToRun
“The 2030 agenda is more than a list of tasks to be accomplished, it is the definition of what we will be or what we will have missed out on”. David López Rohde. Student of ETSII, UPM._
¡¡Tick, tock, tick, tock!!
It is already October 2022, and in less than 8 years, 17 goals and 169 targets should be achieved. We are talking about the 2030 Agenda, which encompasses all the major challenges we face as humanity. So far, the projections are bad, for the planet and for people, and indicate that at this rate the SDGs will not be met because although some have advanced, many others have been left behind.
#SomosUPM. The UPM is already in place, leading the EELISA Alliance (European Alliance for Innovation in Science and Engineering Education), which aims to define a European engineer who is recognisable both for his or her technical competence and understanding of societal challenges.
Young people, often full of anger and sadness for all the barriers along the way, but many others with hope and commitment, are looking for a sustainable future. That is why a group of UPM students (#NoSoloIngeniería) have organised the 1st NON COMPETITIVE RACE NO DEJAR A NADIE A NADIE A NADIE A NADIE A NADIE A ATRAS, to demand and support an education that can truly serve as a lever to promote the SDGs and be on time for 2030.
Who inspires us? In Vallecas, the El árbol sports club has been organising a cooperative race for more than 30 years.
Do I have to be fit to do the race? Nooooo… you can run, walk, go with children, with parents, with pets, adapted for reduced mobility… We want a fully inclusive race because all people are important to support transformative education.
Sin presión por ganar, correr por la universidad, por los estudiantes, por las familias y amigxs, por encontrarse, por divertirse…
No pressure to win, to run for the university, for the students, for the families and friends, to meet each other, to have fun…
Date and Time: 23 October – 11:00-13:00 (bib pick-up at 10:00)
You can invite whoever you want… There will be prizes and lots of surprises!
Location: Metro Ciudad Universitaria (Línea 6)
