Seeds of Hope and Action Exhibition

MAKING THE SDGs A REALITY

Seeds of Hope and Action Exhibition

The Seeds of Hope and Action Exhibition stands as a beacon of inspiration and purpose, actively working towards the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Comprising of 25 panels, the Seeds of Hope and Action (SOHA) Exhibition shows a vision for a sustainable society, working to achieve the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The exhibition, co-created by Soka Gakkai International and the Earth Charter International features panels serving as a catalyst for positive change and a platform to move communities towards a more sustainable future.

In 2010, marking the 10th anniversary of declaration the Earth Charter, the Seeds of Hope: Visions of sustainability, steps toward change Exhibition was created and the SOHA exhibition is its updated version.

In a world where the need for sustainable practices has never been more urgent, this exhibition serves as a powerful reminder that collective efforts, no matter how small, can sow the seeds for a more sustainable and equitable future.
