The exhibition also highlights the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their relevance to Lesotho’s national development priorities.

The event encourages engagement and dialogue with the public. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to test their knowledge on human rights, climate action, and development programs. Attendees can also participate in discussions about how local communities can contribute to global initiatives and benefit from international support.
