From Global Challenges to Sustainable Career Choices
What will work look like in the future and what skills will matter most? In this interactive workshop, we explore global challenges shaping careers and invite you to reflect on how to find meaningful and sustainable work that connects your talents and interests with the world’s needs.
Sustainability is changing how we think about work, careers, and the skills that are needed in the future. Global trends such as the green transition, digitalisation, and social change are reshaping the labour market, but they also raise deeper questions about meaning, values, and how we want to live and work.
This interactive workshop invites participants to reflect on sustainability in relation to their current or future career. We will explore key trends shaping the future job market and discuss how individuals can navigate change while seeking work that feels both meaningful for themselves and useful for the world.
The workshop combines short inputs with practical reflection exercises. You will be invited to reflect on how global trends may affect your field, what skills and competencies may become increasingly important, and how your own values can guide future career choices. No prior knowledge is required.
The session does not aim to provide ready-made answers, but to create space for reflection and new questions. You are encouraged to leave with at least one insight that stays with you beyond the workshop.
Workshop facilitator
The workshop is facilitated by Elin Holgersson, study and career counsellor at the Department of Psychology at Lund University, with a background in psychology and a strong interest in sustainability, green guidance, and the future of work.
Practical information
The workshop is open to anyone interested in reflecting on sustainability and career, whether you are a student, professional, or simply curious about the future of work.
No pre-registration or prior experience is required. Please bring a pen and notebook for writing down reflections.
The event is part of Sustainability Week 2026, which runs between 13-18 April. Sustainability Week is an annual event in Lund organised as a joint venture by Lund University and Lund municipality. The week serves as a platform for bringing together ideas, raising public awareness and for inspiring sustainable change.
