                About Bead & Proceed:

                 

                Bead & Proceed is a social enterprise that exists to educate people about the SDGs and

                to inspire action towards them through creativity. The idea is simple: we bring
                people together to each make a 5-beaded necklace, bracelet or keyring that
                represents the top 5 SDGs most important to them. While people paint, they come
                up with creative solutions to achieve their goals and they come away with a tangible
                object that helps anchors their learning, serves as a physical reminder of
                their commitment and a conversation starter to help spread SDG awareness. Since
                its launch in February 2019, more than 3,000 participants have attended our SDG
                workshops or purchased our Bead & Proceed Kits. Bead & Proceed has
                grown to offer tailored SDG workshops and ongoing SDG consulting support for
                businesses interested in growing their impact. To date, we have worked with a
                range of corporates and organistions including councils, universities,
                professional service firms, and other leading businesses in agriculture and
                tourism sectors. 


                What are the SDGs?


                In 2015 all 193 UN Member States, including New Zealand, adopted the 17 UN Sustainable

                Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs address 17 of the biggest issues facing our society
                and aim to help make the world a better place – ending poverty, preventing
                climate change, saving life on land and in our waters and eradicating
                inequality. The SDGs are to be achieved by 2030 and the UN have coined 2020 the
                start of the Decade of Action – we have 10 years left to achieve the SDGs so
                it’s crunch time! Sadly, not enough people know the SDGs exist and at the rate
                we’re going, no state is on track to achieving them –Bead & Proceed hopes
                to change that!
