Let’s Get to Work: Finding Your Superpower for the Planet
You don’t have to work in a specific sector to create positive change. Hear from inspiring speakers about their diverse jobs and experiences and explore how to find your niche and create impact wherever you work.
What does it mean to make a difference through your job? Whether you’re working in retail, public services or a local community organisation, almost every job has the potential to shape a greener future. The ways we can have an impact are more varied than you might think.
In this workshop, you’ll meet experts from corporate sustainability, creative industries, youth activism and beyond, including representatives from Ørsted, WWF, Youngwilders and more. They’ll tell honest stories about how they got started, the skills they developed and the challenges and rewards they encountered through their work. You’ll have the opportunity to learn that meaningful impact isn’t limited to traditional ‘green jobs’. There are countless ways to use your talents and interests to shape a more positive future.
In groups, you’ll then explore how your own interests and strengths can make a difference. Reflect on how to tackle a real-world problem, identify where your strengths fit and explore opportunities to collaborate. You’ll discover how almost any role can be a chance to make your work matter for the world around you.
