SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS X SOCIALBNB
Sustainability is on everyone's lips and is of great interest in diverse subject areas. Climate change, scarcity of resources, dwindling biodiversity or even the current population dynamics as well as people's consumption behavior require a rethink. In 2015, the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda. In it: 17 sustainable development goals that are intended to ensure and promote sustainability. The goals focus on poverty, food and drinking water, health, education, gender equality, energy, work, sustainable development, environmental and climate protection and peace. But how can tourism and explicitly socialbnb contribute to these goals? That is what we are clarifying today.
SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL WITH SOCIALBNB
A socialbnb is an accommodation with impact. Every overnight stay supports a social or ecological project. If you have chosen an accommodation on our platform, then the price selected by the project will flow into that. This way you can easily travel in a socially sustainable way and do good - while you sleep, so to speak. We currently have six different project types, check out our website. Let's take a look together at projects in the different impact areas.

Why volunteering abroad is not entirely a positive thing
The number of people volunteering has increased significantly in recent years. More and more people are deciding to do federal voluntary service or what is known as a "gap year".

Today we'll talk about volunteering abroad as part of such a gap year or sabbatical and show you both the positives and negatives to this venture. Let's go!
