Ideas set in motion can change the world. From recognizing our deep connection with the Earth and environment, to innovations that make sustainability possible, to people who inspire new ways of thinking—change happens in unexpected, extraordinary, as well as subtle, quiet ways. But how do ideas lead to real change? Innovators in many fields show us how. ChangeMakers explores the work of individuals driving progress toward a sustainable future. It explores the creation and sharing of ideas, partnerships across communities, demographic shifts in practicing and citizen scientists, changes in business and industry, technological advances, and advocacy through education and activism. These efforts transform perspectives, practice, and policy. ChangeMakers highlights people whose insights, strategies, and ambitions result in change, both small and large, moving us toward a sustainable future.
This event brings together individuals and groups interested in innovative approaches to ensure a healthy, livable planet for all. We seek to raise awareness, foster collaboration, build community, and most importantly take action.
As part of this event we’re sponsoring a Sustainable Future ChangeMakers Student Challenge open to Lehigh students from across the University. We invite submissions from individuals and teams that inspire, propose, or promote actions to create a future that is sustainable and equitable. We encourage submissions that draw from the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences, health, business, education, and engineering. Entries that address economic, social, and environmental dimensions are welcome. Submissions in various formats and media welcome.
Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at the EES Open House on April 2nd. Please use the link below to submit your entry!
