The volunteer will help UNDP Youth Co:Lab to write the content of 6 youth-friendly educational quizzes around 6 topics related to the SDGs: disabilities, human mobility, poverty, sustainable cities and communities, clean water & sanitation, good health & well-being. Each quiz requires a set of 10 questions with 4 answer options, a short explanation of the solution and the sources. One quiz is about 7,500 characters. In order to successfully write the content of one quiz, the volunteer is expected to carry relevant research.
