KU Festival: Student innovation for sustainable futures - Lessons from Kibera, Kenya

How can students create real change in the world’s most challenging environments?

Come meet 15 fellow students who spent two transformative weeks in Kenya, working side-by-side with local partners in Kibera – Africa’s largest informal settlement – to understand community needs from the inside out. Get an insider look at the Study and Innovation Programme in Kenya, where UCPH students came up with solutions to four challenges on menstrual products, water access, adoption of biogas, and sexual education for youth. Through stories, photos, pitches and interactive activities you are invited to reflect on your own role in tackling global challenges and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals – whether on campus, abroad, or in your future career.

If you’re curious about sustainability, innovation, global development – or simply want to see how students like you can make a real‑world impact – this event is your chance to explore how meaningful change starts with listening, collaborating, and daring to rethink what’s possible outside the classroom.
