Join in! - Sustain Groups for a more sustainable university

The first Sustain Group on the topic of "Campus development: mobility and open spaces" took place on 27.04.23. Current projects being worked on are "Tree sponsorships and biodiversity islands on campus", "Climate-friendly business trips" and "Glass recycling on campus".

The @campusgartenkassel was also involved.

On Wednesday 3.05.23, the Sustain Group "Sustainable event organization" continued. The group discussed current needs, in particular "sustainable catering", the "development of internal university guidelines" and the creation of a "list of skills and contacts".

The meeting will continue on 10.05.23 at 2 p.m. with the Sustain Group "Operational Development". Topics to be discussed include health, procurement and nutrition. Current projects that we would like to continue working on are "Drinking water dispensers", "Tap water-friendly organization award from a tip:tap", "Expansion of e-exams", "Sustainable canteen and cafés". Feel free to drop by! 

We are also offering a Sustain Group on "Sustainability Communication" on 17.05.23 at 2 pm. We want to think together about what it takes to make sustainability issues more visible at the University of Kassel. Our initial ideas include a sustain board with different topics, e.g. on mobility and energy-saving activities or a sustain tour on campus. We would now like to invite you to plan these further with us.

The meetings take place in our Green Office. All working groups are open to interested employees and students from all areas of the university. Anyone who would like to get involved in the process is welcome to join at any time. If you have a completely new idea that is burning under your nails, you can of course bring it along to our meetings.
