Global Dialogues

How can we make our campuses and communities sustainable? Let’s talk about it in the 2nd edition of the ENLIGHT Global Dialogue 2023!

Student organisations from across the world are invited to share their experiences in projects promoting sustainability in their community or campus.

The ENLIGHT Global Dialogue invites student organisations, associations or project team from the ENLIGHT partner universities and across the globe to talk about student–led sustainability initiatives and share best practice. The event will take place online in April & May 2023 to facilitate global participation. The best contributions will be invited to present their projects at the ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Conference in October 2023.

If you are part of a student society or organisation and you believe you have made a difference in promoting sustainability either on campus or in your community we invite you to submit your proposal for presentation.

Deadline for submitting a proposal is March 30, 2023.
