Why I’m so involved with the topic of sustainability? I find it important to make a difference in the world and achieve something

“I am the new chair of Erasmus Sustainability Hub this year. I really see this as the environment for me to learn. At the ESH, there are so many passionate people whose interests are beyond what’s going on at the university. I would like to encourage people to know more about sustainability: come to us, we are open to talk.
“As a student association, we want to combine fun – for example organizing cooking workshops and cooking different cuisine every week – with social gatherings and networking with people. We as a hub want to establish us as a leading student association in university transitions towards green solutions.
“I am studying Social Challenges and in my opinion climate change is one of the biggest challenges that we face nowadays. I would love to follow courses that are focused on solutions, that we need to wake up now. Why I’m so involved with the topic of sustainability? I find it important to make a difference in the world and achieve something. There are so many obstacles ahead but working on this is also rewarding. I am happy that our university is organising university-wide dialogues on sustainability this autumn. I hope they end with a concrete policy plan that will takes us one step ahead.”
