United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and ActionAid have organised a hackathon to help young people in Cox's Bazar leverage digital means and tools to promote peace, tolerance, and diversity and contribute to SDG targets 4.7 and 16.

The three-day "Digital Khichuri Challenge for Pathway to Peaceful Societies: Catalyzing Youth as Responsible Citizens," was organised under UND's Partnerships for a Tolerant and Inclusive Bangladesh (PTIB) project.

Almost 100 students from different educational institutions submitted their ideas. The top nine teams attended a boot camp from September 25-27 and presented their ideas on September 27 to the jury.

Team Hurricane and Team Decode the Peace were the winners among the nine teams who will receive mentorship from the UNDP, reports UNB.
