Editor's note
Welcome to the second issue of the CEC Journal; an issue that welcomed submissions around the theme Young People and the Sustainable Development Goals: Inclusive Innovation by 2030. Contributors were invited to submit: snapshots, case studies, or (critical) reflections about/by young people who are making attempts to achieve the SDGs; discussions about the potential and conflicts that arise from using online platforms as strategies for ‘inclusive innovation’; analyses of the political, ethical, and/or legal complexities of achieving the SDGs.
In line with this broad scope, the authors in this issue take on a range of questions: from a case study of particular parameters surrounding education in Rwanda, to the presentation of global exemplars of libraries being used in furthering development agendas; from the snapshot of an initiative that uses theatre as its methodology for inclusive innovation in New Mexico, to a provocative critique of the SDGs themselves. We are also particularly delighted to showcase initiatives undertaken by UWC-USA students and their peers within the Bartos Institute's programming that -- while not necessarily framed by the SDGs -- certainly embodies the spirit of youthful and inclusive innovation.
The second issue of the CEC Journal has been guest edited by Egzon Sadiku, our Bartos Fellow who has been in-residence at UWC-USA from September to November 2016. Egzon brings his aesthetics as a visual artist and philosopher to frame this issue's design and a special note of thanks is owed to this talented artist/activist/thinker/educator from Kosovo, who has enriched the work of the Bartos Institute with his creativity and commitment.
We are delighted to share this work with you.
