Welcome to the November edition of the Sustainaware Newsletter!
This month, our community gathered in Brussels for the final event of the Sustainaware project—a celebration of youth leadership, creative collaboration, and action at the intersection of health, environment, and education. Through workshops, panels, and shared learning, Intersections for Impact highlighted the strength of youth-driven change.
In the spotlight
Intersections for Impact: A Forum on Health, Environment & Education
From 3–4 November 2025, more than 50 young changemakers, educators, experts, and activists gathered in Brussels for Intersections for Impact, Sustainaware’s final conference and celebration.
Across two days, participants joined panels, hands-on workshops, and interactive sessions exploring how climate, health, and education connect.
Highlights included:
- Keynote: Lena Schilling (MEP, Greens) on intersectional, systemic solutions.
- Panel 1: Health, Youth & Climate – how climate change shapes youth health.
- Panel 2: Education & Climate Change – innovative approaches to climate education.
- Panel 3: Cross-Sector Collaboration – partnerships across health, education, and environment.
- Climate Fresk Workshop: A collaborative systems-thinking exercise.
- Digital Escape Room: An immersive sustainability learning tool developed within Sustainaware.
- Mini-Fair & Networking Lunch: Featuring youth-led organisations including The Earth Society, European Climate Pact Ambassadors, Mediterranea, and Climate Fresk.
