Home > Projects > Start Young for a Sustainable Future

Do you have something to say about sustainability? Worried about the future of the planet? Want to do more in your local community? Do you think it’s about time that your ideas were heard – by your friends, your community, and by businesses? So do we. We, as UKYP, are working with IBM and Start to make a difference and create a movement - and we really want you to join us.
Start is a national initiative by The Prince's Charities Foundation to promote and celebrate sustainable living. Sustainability isn’t just about being green – it’s about creating and using things that can last – socially and economically as well as environmentally.Start wants to show what a more energy efficient, cleaner and healthier future could look like – and how we can start creating this future now. You can log onto www.startuk.org for more info.
IBM Start Young for a Sustainable Future is happening on Sunday 12th September, 9.30am – 4.30pm at the prestigious Lancaster House in London. We’re looking for young people aged 16-21 who can bring confidence, creativity and passion to building a sustainable future. The event will be packed with activities and opportunities to discuss your ideas with key figures from the world of business and entertainment, and other young people. Your work on the day will then be presented to some of the country’s most influential leaders - from commerce to central Government.
And it won’t stop there. We want to inspire you to start something in your own communities too – be it in your own home, in school or in your own town. Because one start can lead to something much greater.
Places for this event are limited, and we are expecting lots of interest from across the whole of the UK. For your chance to attend, apply using the registration form below by Friday 3rd September.
