It was heartening to see the enthusiasm and inquistiveness of these kids and we were happy to provide them with a platform to gain a pespective on Sustainability that is beyond just activism.

Special thanks to Mihir Rambhia from University of Melbourne and Maithili Deena from CoirPlus for their insightful sessions on Higher Education opportunities in Sustainability & Green Entrepreneurship respectively.

We also had a special session by Teenspiration Haaziq Kazi who shared his journey of building Ervis, a ship that can suck 100 tonnes of plastic waste from large water bodies.
