  The Project of Promoting Sustainable Urban Development through Volunteer Service for the Beijing Winter Olympics aims to facilitate the volunteer service for the Winter Olympics, develop a collaboration network for volunteering in Olympic cities and enhance youth engagement in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through volunteerism. During the project, UN experts will design and develop three training courses for Winter Olympic volunteers. The subjects include SDGs and our life, inclusive development, and volunteerism for SDGs. The course will empower Olympic volunteers, raise volunteers' awareness of sustainable development, and cultivate talents with outstanding capabilities in the field of sustainable urban development. UNV’s partnership with the Beijing Volunteer Service Federation dates back to 2007, when the two partners first collaborated on volunteer training and strengthening volunteerism for development within the context of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games.
