Sustainights

Does climate news make you angry and worried? Do you sometimes feel alone and powerless? Do you want to learn more or do you want to get started yourself ? Do you want to improve the world, your campus, or yourself? Then we think you'll find your thing during the sustainights at the Green Hub. With info and discussion moments, workshops and various cool sustainability actions where we as students can take the lead and make a difference during the academic year.

Making Tomorrow: the kick-off (Dutch & English)

A new semester means a new Making Tomorrow! At this event, numerous sustainable projects present themselves and together we look for new volunteers. You can find out how the Green Office itself works, but also about numerous projects related to mental health, diversity, animal welfare and so much more! We will get together in the GreenHub for a snack and a drink, after which you can join one or more of the themed tables. Making Tomorrow is also the event for (professional) networking!
