Onepile foundation
OnePile Foundation - Charity We believe that reading empowers individuals and communities, encouraging sustainable reading practices that emphasize sharing, reusing, and recycling books, thereby reducing waste and contributing to the community. We will share more about: - how we use online apps and smart robots to address SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) education - break the inequality in reading caused by wealth disparity, and - collaborate with multiple stakeholders to promote the SDGs and - engage society (with multi-stakeholders, including government, landlord holders, corporates, technology companies, schools, community societies and youth/next generation) in the process. Donny Siu - Education section/ University: This practice plays a crucial role in: - advancing SDG education and - providing access, enhancing quality, fostering skills development, - bridging the digital divide and book resources gaps, and - facilitating collaboration among stakeholders.

At IGF 2024, the OnePile Foundation introduces its cutting-edge initiative, the OnePile.io SDG Book Club, under the session titled "Digital Libraries for Sustainability: Empowering Global Communities with SDG Knowledge and the SDG Book Club." This session will focus on the transformative role that digital libraries can play in disseminating knowledge about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to global audiences. The OnePile.io platform revolutionizes how books related to the SDGs are categorized, accessed, and utilized, bridging the gap between digital technology and sustainability education. Through our digital bookcrossing application, we have successfully integrated over 400 books with dedicated SDG labels, enabling users to engage deeply with topics that are crucial for sustainable development. This session will highlight how digital innovations, particularly in the realm of digital book sharing and libraries, can significantly enhance the educational landscape by making sustainability resources accessible worldwide. It will also explore the impact of such platforms in fostering a global community that is well-informed and motivated to take action towards achieving the SDGs. Linking directly to the IGF2024 issue area of "Enhancing the digital contribution to peace, development, and sustainability," this presentation will demonstrate the potential of digital libraries to act as catalysts for educational and societal change. Participants will explore successful strategies for scaling this model across different regions and discuss the role of digital technology in promoting peace and sustainable development through education.

The moderators will actively collect questions from both audiences and relay them to the speakers. * **Hybrid Q&A Platform:** Implement a platform like Slido or Mentimeter that allows both onsite and online participants to submit questions and upvote those they find most relevant. This ensures all voices are heard and prioritizes the most pressing inquiries. * **Interactive Polls and Quizzes:** Utilize live polls and quizzes throughout the session to gauge audience understanding and maintain engagement. This allows for real-time feedback and encourages active participation from both audiences. * **Social Media Integration:** Create a unique hashtag for the session and encourage participants to share their thoughts and questions on social media. This extends the conversation beyond the physical and virtual room and allows for wider engagement. ### 2) Designing for Optimal Experience: * **Pre-session Materials:** Share relevant materials, such as speaker bios, session outlines, and key discussion points, with all participants beforehand to allow them to come prepared and actively engage in the session. ### 3) Complementary Online Tools/Platforms: * **Zoom or Microsoft Teams:** Utilize these platforms for video conferencing, screen sharing, and breakout room functionalities. This allows for seamless interaction between online and onsite participants, including small group discussions and collaborative activities. * **Mural or Miro:** Employ these collaborative online whiteboards for brainstorming, idea sharing, and visual collaboration. This allows participants to contribute their thoughts and ideas in a dynamic and engaging way, regardless of their location. * **Social Media Platforms (Twitter, Facebook):** Leverage social media platforms to promote the session, share updates, and encourage ongoing discussions using the session hashtag. * **Live Streaming Platforms (YouTube, Facebook Live):** Consider live streaming the session on platforms like YouTube or Facebook Live to reach a wider audience and allow for asynchronous viewing after the event.
