Sustainability at School
by the Global Shapers Munich
Empower future leaders & learn sustainability in business
Learn sustainability in business
Sustainability@school educates young people as future workforce and maybe even entrepreneurs about sustainability in business through interactive workshops, engaging case studies, and personalized mentorship. We do so in various ways. The possibilities are as big as the number of schools that want to work with us. So far, we have conducted workshops for high-school students, middle schoolers as well as teachers. For this, we work together with some of the education managers of the municipality of Munich. Also, we have a collaboration with business@school by BCG. For them, we offer virtual brainteaser sessions that empower them to detect greenwashing and create sustainable business ideas.
Our mission is to expand our reach to more schools, providing essential educational resources to young people eager to make a difference.
