Wattle Fellowship Spotlight 2 - Market Hall

Wattle Fellowship Spotlight 2 - Market Hall

The Wattle Fellowship invites you to Spotlight 2025: the second of two events that showcase the learnings, development and impact of students involved in our program. You will have the opportunity to hear about the journey and projects fellows have undertaken, and connect with other people passionate about sustainability over food and music.

🌏  Our mission is to unlock the leadership the planet needs. Our vision is one where sustainability practices and principles are embedded into every social endeavour. Wattle Fellowship action projects are diverse and divergent, but all aim to create positive social and environmental outcomes. 

🤗 Come along to network, hear ideas from the next generation, and learn about fellow-led sustainability action projects designed to create a positive impact.
