A Fun Day Out with EnviroFest

About this episode

The episode discusses the preparations for EnviroFest 2026 and the insights from community organizations on sustainability efforts.

As The University of Western Australia gears up for the return of EnviroFest later in 2026, Ke chatted to the former guild environment officer Julia about the mission and logistical efforts required to bring a large-scale sustainability event to life in 2025. Emma and Rae then revisited their conversations last year at EnviroFest with a diverse range of community organisations to gather their insights of participating in event like this and how they take tangible actions on environmental issues. They then explored how organisations track behavioural change and use qualitative feedback to measure impact. By highlighting personal reflections from student volunteers and organisers alike, this episode demonstrates that the true value of such events lies in the power of collaboration and reflection.
