Engaging Young People in the Energy Shift: Stephanie Sabrinskas

Young people aren’t just the future—they’re a vital part of the now. So how do we ensure their voices are truly heard in the renewable energy transition?

In this episode, Wendy Agar chats with Stephanie Sabrinskas—a passionate organiser, impact producer, and the creative mind behind Power Pops, a virtual reality youth engagement program with the Gippsland Climate Change Network.

Based in the Latrobe Valley, Stephanie brings six years of experience documenting the energy transition in Gippsland and working directly with young people to bring their ideas, energy, and leadership to the table.

You’ll hear:
 Why inclusion, diversity, and intergenerational voices matter
 How the shift from coal to renewables is landing in her community
 What meaningful youth engagement really looks like
 What works—and what doesn’t—when engaging diverse voices in regional areas

If you care about empowering the next generation, building inclusive engagement, and creating an energy shift that reflects all voices—this episode is not to be missed.
