November 3-4 2025
Brussels, Belgium
From 3–4 November 2025, young people, experts, educators, and changemakers gathered in Brussels, Belgium, for Intersections for Impact, a unique forum exploring how health, environment, and education intersect to shape a more sustainable future.
Together, we demonstrated how collaborative, youth-driven action can create meaningful, long-lasting change.
Over two vibrant days, more than 50 participants engaged in a wide range of panel sessions, workshops, and networking spaces designed to spark dialogue and inspire action:
- Keynote Speaker Lena Schilling, Member of the European Parliament (Greens), setting the tone for intersectional solutions.
- Panel 1: Health, Youth & Climate, exploring youth-led initiatives and the impacts of climate change on physical health.
- Panel 2: Education & Climate Change, highlighting innovative educational strategies for climate literacy and resilience.
- Climate Fresk Workshop, an interactive and participatory deep dive into systemic climate challenges.
- Panel 3: Cross-Sectoral Collaboration, presenting partnerships between the health, education, and environmental sectors.
- Digital Escape Room, designed in the project Sustainaware, offers an immersive experience on sustainability, justice, and youth engagement.
- Mini-Fair & Networking Lunch, providing space to connect with youth-led organizations, including:
