Are you interested in contributing to a more sustainable world while enhancing a sense of purpose? This session is inspired by the “butterfly effect” – the idea that small intentional actions can contribute to significant change and the principle of “thinking globally and acting locally”. Participants will explore how small everyday actions through lifestyle choices, consumer habits and community engagement, can create meaningful positive change for communities, ecosystems and even global challenges. Come for the inspiration and leave with a commitment for positive action.
When: Saturday April 18, 2026
