Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Education liberates the intellect, unlocks the imagination and is fundamental for self-respect. It is the key to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a progressive, healthy society. Goal 4 is about ensuring access for all along all educational levels, and ensuring relevant skills for sustainable development and financial success.

The first York University-organized game jam challenged student participants to create online video games related to one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event was hosted by the Digital Media Program, which is run jointly by the School of the Arts, Media, Performance and Design (AMPD) and the Lassonde School of Engineering. Approximately 40 participants took this opportunity to hone their skills by working in teams to develop seven SDG-oriented games.
