/// THE GREEN SUMMIT

The Green Summit held in Bangkok in December 2022, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for four students from the School of Sustainability. The conference brought together experts and practitioners from around the world to discuss and share their knowledge and experiences on sustainable development. Mrs. and Mr. Sharon & Larry Finegold donated towards the participation of the students in the conference.

The students were able to attend various workshops and sessions that covered a wide range of topics, from environmental management to sustainable urban development. They also had the opportunity to network with professionals in the field, learning about the latest trends, technologies and best practices.

One of the highlights of the conference was a panel discussion featuring experts from different countries, who shared their perspectives on how to address the challenges of sustainable development in their respective regions. The students were inspired by the innovative and creative approaches presented by these experts, and were motivated to bring these ideas back to their own communities.

Students visited several sustainable development projects in Bangkok, including a rooftop garden that provides fresh produce for a local community, and a waste management facility that uses advanced technology to convert waste into energy. These visits gave them a deeper understanding of the practical applications of sustainable development and the positive impact it can have on communities.

The conference was a valuable learning experience, and students returned with a deeper understanding of sustainable development, new ideas and inspiration to apply in Israel, in their own projects, and a wealth of new contacts and professional relationships.
