The Wattle Fellowship is the University of Melbourne’s co-curricula program for students to foster leadership on global sustainability. The program focuses on multidisciplinary approaches, leadership development, experiential learning and practical skills development. Our vision is a world where sustainability practices and principles are embedded into every social endeavour.

This event is our premier event to showcase the learning, development and impact of students involved in the program.

Come along to hear next level ideas, see prototypes and engage with hands-on demonstrations of sustainability focused action projects designed to create a positive impact now and into the future.

From a DIY e-bike conversion kit, to a sustainable health promotion package for GP waiting rooms, to a 'tiny theatre in a briefcase' telling tales of human encounters with birds, the Wattle Fellowship student projects are diverse and divergent, but all aim to create lasting positive social and environmental outcomes. 

Join us for an enjoyable evening of featured presentations and demonstrations, with time to engage directly with students participating in the Wattle Fellowship program. See the link below for more information on each project and student.
