The PRME Anti-Poverty Working Group, established in 2008 among the first PRME Working Groups, today includes more than 180 members from 150 institutions in 55 countries around the globe. The aim of this collective effort is to work towards a proposal that introduces the issue of poverty in the curriculum and the learning methods in the education of future professionals, as part of the social environment in which business and management operate. The Working Group has developed and produced a number of initiatives and outcomes including:

	• global surveys on fighting poverty through management education: challenges solutions and opportunities (2012) and on the SDGs and the issues of poverty in management education (2017)
	• two books on WHY and HOW to integrate the issue of poverty into management education (2014, 2015)
	• two joint books on the integration of sustainability into business and management practice, and management education (2017)
	• two joint books on the champions, struggles and successes in the pursuit of the SDGs (work in progress)
	• scholarly articles
	• WG and joint conferences
	• Anti-poverty toolkit (work in progress)

This webinar will be an opportunity to share some of the Working Group’s findings and lessons learned on fighting poverty and advancing the SDGs through management education.
