In August, we wrapped up the series by looking at what it means to be a sustainable citizen. We began with a fun icebreaker where participants shared quick sustainability ideas, then battled it out in rock-paper-scissors until two voices remained—backed by a chorus shouting their visions. It set the tone for collective action and the power of support.

We then asked a big question: What would a fair society for current and future generations look like? Each person wrote a one-sentence answer, which together became a short collective speech. Their words highlighted values like intergenerational equity, justice, and responsibility to preserve nature—while also acknowledging the challenges of making them real.

A short video of youth-led environmental action reminded us how young people can drive meaningful change, whether by planting trees, running recycling schemes, or leading awareness campaigns. Inspired, the group then took on their own challenge: writing sustainability pledges or brainstorming community projects. Ideas ranged from reducing plastic waste to organising local clean-ups and speaking up in schools about greener practices.

We closed by reflecting on what sustainable citizenship really means—recognising rights, but also responsibilities, and understanding how our personal and collective actions shape the future. The session ended with commitments on a “wall of action,” leaving participants motivated and ready to take the next steps toward environmental justice.
