Australia-India sustainability youth forum

1 JANUARY 2003

Ms Rebecca Turnbull, a medical science and applied biotechnology student from the the Charles Sturt University (CSU) Wagga Wagga Campus, was chosen as CSU representative to the inaugural Australia-India Universities Youth Forum in July. The forum drew together almost 60 Australian and Indian university students. Highlights included a sustainability leadership training program in Sydney, a three-day eco-tour of outback Australia, a tour of a biodynamic organic farm near Canberra, and workshops with the City of Sydney’s Sustainable Sydney 2030 project team. “Each participant brought a different area of expertise from their university education; from engineering to teaching, languages to economics, architects and town planners and those in science and biotechnology,” said Ms Turnbull. “We were constantly consulting our fellow student experts which reinforced the concept that sustainability affects us all, regardless of occupation and origin.”
