In the spotlight
Join Us for the Final Sustainaware Conference in November!
Have you saved the date in your calendar already? The Sustainaware Final Conference will take place on November 3rd and 4th, 2025, in Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪 under the title “Intersections for Impact: A Forum on Health, Environment & Education”.
This will be a key moment to get more information on youth-led action for climate, health, and education, to play the escape room and to connect with stakeholders. We look forward to seeing you there!
Please note that registrations for the Forum will open after the summer. Stay tuned!
Multiplier Events in Slovenia, Italy, and Czechia
We’re bringing Sustainaware closer to youth! In June and July, we hosted national multiplier events in Slovenia 🇸🇮, Italy 🇮🇹, and Czechia 🇨🇿, where we explored the digital escape room and discussed climate actions.
Multiplier event in Prague, on 6 July, with the participants of the YEE General Assembly!
The Game is Ready!
Our digital escape room is ready to play! You can now explore this interactive adventure that uncovers the connections between climate change and health. Designed to raise awareness and inspire concrete, measurable actions, the game encourages players to think critically and take meaningful steps toward protecting our planet. Are you ready to take on the challenge yourself and your friends?

Final YTAB Capacity Building Session: Crafting Your Social Media Voice
Time flies! It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed and we’ve already completed six capacity-building sessions with the Youth Technical Advisory Board (YTAB).
In our most recent and final online session, we explored the art of social media communication—sharing practical tips on creating authentic, relatable content to amplify youth voices and projects.
Throughout this journey, the contributions of YTAB members have been incredibly valuable, helping shape meaningful conversations and driving forward youth-led advocacy for a sustainable future.
We’re now looking forward to meeting everyone in Brussels to celebrate this collective work and close the chapter with our final in-person event! 🌍💬
