Shape Living Planet @ Campus with your creative ideas and initiatives
Have you successfully launched a creative initiative or project on campus? Can your idea be brought to life at other campuses? If you want to make an impact on sustainability and build your resume as a leader, innovator or problem-solver, we can help you help others follow in your footsteps.
Peer-to-peer learning is such a powerful tool to create change. And where better to do that than at university or college, those multi-disciplinary hothouses for learning and exploring new opportunities?
With approximately 280 Canadian post-secondary institutions and over 2.5 million students filled with ingenuity, creativity and energy to fuel transformative ideas, we can transition to a more sustainable world.
Share your experience and model of success with WWF for the opportunity to help develop and author a how-to resource on your concept. Idea proposals can also include activities not yet implemented but you think will be an effective tool for shaping the student experience of sustainability or protection of nature. The options are limitless and your efforts will contribute to lasting change.
If your idea is chosen for development by WWF, your activity guide will be featured on the Living Planet @ Campus website.
During my co-op at HP, I came across the Smart Office Challenge for the Living Planet @ Work program, which was insightful. Recognizing the fact that most people on campus are unaware of the environmental impact of IT, I wanted to create a fun and engaging way to educate them and create awareness. I pitched the “Smart Campus Challenge” to WWF and worked with them to co-author the toolkit and make it relevant to students. I gained recognition from the Head of Sustainability at HP Canada for this initiative. This experience made me leave my comfort zone, and as a result I gained skills and valuable experience that will help me in the future both in school and at the workplace.
