How do we define activism today and who gets to be called an activist?
Join us for our next Sustainability Seminar, where we unpack the many shapes climate activism can take, from grassroots organising to community energy and institutional lobbying.
In this conversation, we’ll challenge stereotypes surrounding the word activist and highlight how climate action happens in diverse, creative and often overlooked ways. Whether you're a seasoned campaigner, curious about advocacy, or exploring how to take meaningful action, this session will offer insight into what activism looks like in 2026.
