The Sustainability Youth Festival

School Levels

Primary, Secondary, Pre-U

The Sustainability Youth Festival (TSYF) is designed to be a platform for youths to learn about sustainability issues in an accessible and engaging way. It offers a space that aims to break down the barriers to understanding sustainability as a topic through hands-on activities, and for youths to network and learn from professionals in the sector who are passionate about making a difference.

At the core of the festival is the TSYF Challenge, where youth teams will be given the opportunity to pitch their innovative projects and win awards and funding, bringing their ideas to life in schools and communities.
