Communicating digital sustainability issues with impact
By Green Tech South West
UnlistedGreen Tech South West presents an online event showcasing the work of a truly inspirational individual - Sandra Sydow, President of Planet on Stage.
Communicating digital sustainability issues with impact
Have you ever struggled to get those around you, at work or home, to question how they perceive and use digital technologies?
The sad truth is the environmental impact of digital tech (and its broader effects on our lives) has yet to receive the attention it deserves, both in public and research. As a result, awareness remains low.
In this event Sandra will share how we can change that and accelerate the spread of awareness in this crucial field.
She’ll also introduce two powerful and innovative communication tools deployed by Planet On Stage and The Digital Collage, two separate non-profit organisations. These formats have broken away from traditional, uninspiring training courses and instead engage people through collective intelligence, collaboration, and visual storytelling.
Both have proved extremely successful reaching more than 120,000 people around the world in businesses, universities, schools and beyond.
Sandra will also explain how those looking to get more involved could learn to run these tools for themselves, joining over 150 “pitchers” who are trained to inspire action on critical global issues.

As an added bonus, on May 7th Sandra will join us in Bristol to run the Planet on Stage digital impact conference especially for our Green Tech South West members. So cool! You'll be able to RSVP without charge soon - keep an eye on our meetup page for the announcement.
ABOUT SANDRA
Sandra has 20+ years of experience in communication and advertising. A firm believer in the power of words, storytelling, and gamification, she integrates these elements into all her workshops, fostering motivation and optimism—both essential for engaging people in the global sustainability movement.
As President of Planet On Stage, a non-profit organisation, she is dedicated to accelerating the transition to a sustainable future through public speaking training and innovative communication tools on environmental challenges.
She's also actively involved in other non-profit organisations aiming to the same goal, like The Digital Collage and Climate Fresk.
Fun facts: She is passionate about musical theatre and also the extraordinary beauty of flowers, specifically orchidees!
