LiA Week 4 - Taking the Lesson Outside
After learning last week that keeping teenagers engaged in a classroom for a full session is a real challenge, I changed things up. I made the lessons more interactive and even took students out for a walk to the Orłowo pier, talking about the Baltic as we went. The highlight of the week was a Baltic hackathon workshop where students designed their own environmental initiatives. Hearing ideas from art students was something else entirely: one group pitched an environmental fashion show, another proposed a travelling exhibition showing how the Baltic's condition has changed over decades, displayed across art schools all over Poland. These were not ideas I would have come up with, and that is exactly the point. The best moments this week were the ones where I stopped teaching and just listened.
I’m a Laidlaw Scholar at Imperial College London, studying Economics, Finance and Data Science, with a focus on applying data and economic tools to solve global environmental challenges.
As Founder of See the Sea, I lead a youth-driven initiative protecting the Baltic Sea through scientific education, community engagement, and policy advocacy: recognized with national awards and backed by successful fundraising campaigns.
I’m currently creating a short film about the Baltic, exploring fifty years of environmental and social change through a blend of storytelling and visual art. The production is planned for Summer 2025.
I’m passionate about sustainable finance, climate data, and storytelling that drives impact. Through the Laidlaw network, I hope to connect with fellow scholars working at the intersection of leadership, science, and global change.
