Introduction

The project aimed to encourage students to learn more about sustainability and adopt environmentally conscious habits. 

Project Overview

The initiative focused on raising awareness about simple sustainability practices through an online competition, leveraging social media to maximize student participation.

Method

Implement an online competition to develop knowledge and mindfulness of sustainability initiatives that students can implement daily.

• Students utilised the university’s Instagram page to produce and post sustainability infographics on various themes.
• A poll was conducted throughout the campus to vote for the best submission.
• The infographic with the highest votes received a prize

Key Outcomes and Learnings

This activity encouraged pupils to learn more about sustainability and create a habit of thinking about the environment. One challenge was the inability to organise face-to-face events due to the pandemic, which limited activities to engage students and required that most events be conducted online
