YEC Sustainability Forum – 17 March 2010

More than 100 primary and secondary students from 26 schools throughout South Australia attended the Youth Environment Council Sustainability Forum to learn, share and be inspired about sustainability.

The forum included inspirational speakers and a range of workshops to give students the skills and knowledge to run environmental action projects in their local school communities.
Workshop topics included support and resources available, project planning skills, grant writing and fundraising, promotion, community links and staying connected across the State.

The forum also included time for students to reflect on what they learnt and the actions they are going to take back to their school communities. These ranged from running fundraiser events to support sustainability projects to share what they learnt with all their peers and staff back at school.
