Organize discussions around these case studies to delve deeper into what made these events successful and how these practices can be adapted to different scenarios. This encourages critical thinking and idea sharing among students.

Invite a 'green champion', like an environmentalist or a leader of a successful sustainable event, to speak to the students. Their firsthand experiences can greatly inspire and motivate students to think creatively about sustainability in event planning.
