Humans of MY World

Humans of MY World (HOMY) is a photo-narrative project that supports the MY World 2030 survey by showcasing the specifics of why people have chosen their top priorities. It highlights the humanity behind the world’s toughest development issues through the lens of the SDGs. It allows people share their concerns in their own words.

Through this exhibition, you will have the chance to “meet” individuals from around the world and learn why the SDGs are important to them. Agenda 2030 and the 17 SDGs represent an unprecedented leap forward in the fight against poverty and inequalities, as well as in the struggle for environmental sustainability. The SDGs embody a universal, inclusive and transformative vision of sustainable development, which calls upon all leaders to ensure a life of dignity for all, leaving no one behind. Behind every response, there’s a personal story that deserves to be told.

Please note: Humans of MY World shows people’s opinion and stories and does not reflect the views of the UN SDG Action Campaign

The Humans of My World content can easily be printed onto posters or roll-ups. You can reprint them as they are or edit them, for example by adding your organisation’s logo alongside ours. We can supply the content for you to print. If you are printing them for an event, consider whether you can re-use em for future events or at the office, for example in hallways or meetings rooms.
