Sustainability: Hype or Hope? YSI SEA Showcase

Eco-friendly, ethical production, social well-being - what do these buzzwords mean? Do you view sustainability as just a passing trend or do you see it as indication of a more conscious society working towards meaningful change?

Broaden your perspectives with us at this year's YSI Showcase as we learn to embrace both the hype and hope of sustainability, and understand the importance of follow-up action. This showcase will provoke you to reconsider your views on socio-economic and environmental sustainability issues through deeper understanding and knowledge, and provide you with opportunities to play a more active role.
