Alizada Talat were all extremely excited to represent their university campus and country on an international platform. Before the ‘Project Vertical’ team was formed at Western Sydney University, these four passionate students that wanted to see change in their academic environment as well as the world around them. While each student had their own individual vision and personal journey it was clear that each idea brought forward was connected through the topic of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG): Mental health and wellbeing. It was also evident that these students wanted their project to have a much larger and more meaningful social impact than initially expected in the planning stages. Therefore, it was decided that the project would serve as a pilot study to see how providing support to those affected by rapid urbanised or ‘vertical’ environments could be feasibly and logistically possible. This study would first be trialled on students that attend Western Sydney University’s vertical campuses at Liverpool and Parramatta City and would include a variety of programs aimed to increase mental health literacy, pro-environmental behaviours, and provide support for those with financial insecurity. Such programs would completely inclusive to any and all students, both domestic and international, and would be designed in a manner that could be transferrable to other emerging vertical campuses.
