Environmental sustainability workshop

Thursday 18 February 2021 at 11am - 12:30pm

Although face to face activities aren’t possible currently, the environment is still an important topic both nationally and worldwide.

Looking at the development plans, most activities were looking to be more active in becoming more environmentally sustainable.

If possible, we would like to support you with this through providing you with toolkits and we have additionally organised workshops to support you this semester. Please see the below content that will be covered in the February workshop:
