UvA GREEN WEEKS

Inspire us and each other!

What exactly is a sustainable climate? How can AUAS and the UvA contribute to it? And what can you and I do to help achieve it over the coming years? The GREEN WEEKS are all about learning from and inspiring one another to find out what steps we can take to create a future-proof, sustainable city and world. We will also be showing what AUAS and UvA are currently doing to further that goal.

Events during the GREEN WEEKS

We hope you'll join us at one or more of the events scheduled for the GREEN WEEKS from 21 April through 31 May. During this period, AUAS and the UvA will be working together with FLOOR (the AUAS cultural platform) to organise various events centred around climate change and sustainability. These events will feature a variety of topics as well as interesting speakers from AUAS, the UvA and beyond, and of course there will be plenty of opportunity for you to join the discussion, like during the closing event with the AUAS and UvA Executive Boards (see the box below).

All events will be public, meaning they will be accessible to students from both AUAS and the UvA, as well as any other interested parties.

You can register per event below. You will be taken to the FLOOR website. We are sure there will be plenty of events to interest you:

We look forward to seeing you during the GREEN WEEKS!

31 May: discuss the AUAS and UvA vision on sustainability during the closing event

AUAS and the UvA are big social organisations in the Amsterdam region. With 110,000 students and staff, our individual and collective actions are a significant contribution to creating a sustainable future for all.

Join the discussion on the afternoon of 31 May. Hanneke Reuling (AUAS Executive Board) and Bert Zwiep (Acting Director, AUAS & UvA Facility Services) will participate in a panel discussion with behavioural psychologist and AUAS lecturer Reint-Jan Renes. Together we’ll look at the role that both institutions should play in the field of sustainability. The AUAS and the UvA both say they want to be pioneers in the field of sustainability in education. Do we see these ambitions reflected in their daily actions? The discussion will be led by Talitha Muusse, chair of the day. This is a chance to pose all your critical questions.

The closing event will feature AUAS Professor Reint-Jan Renes, who will be discussing the climate quandary everyone will be familiar with: On the one hand, you want to make better choices, but going through with them is not always easy. As part of this event, Professor Renes will show you what making choices means in an interactive way.

With their passion and drive, Gerrit Hiemstra and Mary Bezabeh will provide insight into the consequences of climate change for both the Netherlands and the world as a whole.

Finally, De Speld Live will conclude the afternoon and indeed the GREEN WEEKS.
