In a powerful display of youth-led advocacy and global citizenship, seven students from Shiv Nadar School Faridabad participated in the Regen Conference 2026, accompanied by educators Ms. Manjima Chatterjee and Ms. Shalini Chablani.
Hosted at the Green School, the conference brought together nearly 500 students from across the world to engage in meaningful dialogue and collaborative learning around sustainability, regenerative practices, and environmental leadership.
The experience offered students a firsthand understanding of sustainable living. The campus itself reflected regenerative principles through its eco-conscious design, featuring structures built from bamboo and hay, the absence of air conditioning systems, and the use of compost toilets. These immersive experiences demonstrated how sustainability can be meaningfully integrated into everyday life at scale.
Students actively participated in “Climate Cafés,” reflective and collaborative spaces where young changemakers exchanged perspectives on environmental ethics, responsible ownership, and the role of youth in shaping a sustainable future.
A proud highlight of the conference was the selection of Samar Raj Sharma from the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (Batch of 2027) as a Lightning Speaker. Samar delivered a compelling address that thoughtfully connected academic learning with the urgency of climate action, demonstrating confidence, clarity of thought, and the spirit of an impactful global learner.
Throughout the conference, students explored concepts such as the “Four S” framework — Sensing, Seeking, Shaping, and Storytelling — while engaging with innovative sustainability practices including biomimicry and regenerative design thinking.
The experience inspired students to return with renewed purpose, deeper environmental awareness, and a strengthened commitment to contributing meaningfully towards a more sustainable and responsible future.
