SustainAbility 2025 – Sustainability within Everyone’s Reach
Education for sustainability, served at every meal.
Experience Sustainability with All Senses: The R.I.S.E. Foundation and Franklin University Switzerland invite you to an evening of dialogue and connection centered around two of the most universal touchpoints of sustainability: education and food.
This event celebrates a form of sustainability that stems from daily actions, shaped by the spaces we inhabit and the choices we make — as individuals and as a collective: entrepreneurs, educators, chefs, and consumers.
It is a sustainability that is not only talked about, but lived, shared, and co-created. An evening of inspiration, conversation, and meaningful connections where people from diverse backgrounds come together to reflect on the present and help build a more responsible future.
