“Sustainable Southwark” is a year-long programme that will connect engineers with 350 ambitious students aged 14-17 across five Southwark schools and the wider community, for a competition to develop engineering-based solutions to mitigate local sustainability issues.
Through fun activities delivered by Motivez, an award-winning youth-led organisation, the students will increase their awareness of how engineers can tackle issues like air pollution in relatable sectors such as transportation and fashion. They will pitch their green solutions, using engineering insights and a digital toolkit, to councillors and partners to mitigate community pollution.
