Faculty of Philosophy

The Green Office Embassy for the Faculty of Philosophy supports and promotes sustainable projects within and outside of the faculty. Our goal is to assist the university, and our wonderful philosophy faculty, in transitioning to a greener and more inclusive environment by bringing theory into practice and focussing on the application of ideas for student, by student. Together, we are creating a community for individuals interested in acting on topics of climate justice and/or sustainability, whether it is from an economic, social, and/or environmental perspective. As an Embassy, we believe that our actions matter, whether they are big or small.

(Ongoing) Projects

STUFF Consultancy

This project includes acting as a consulting body for internal and external organisations that may require aid with regards to their sustainable practice. The starting point will be consulting with STUFF, the student-study organisation of the Philosophy faculty, who are eager to make their organisation and their members more sustainability-friendly.

Charity events

Our Embassy also embraces the principle of giving back to the community outside the outside of our university, which is why we set up yearly charity events during which money will be raised for a local charity. This is usually done in collaboration with STUFF and other Green Office Embassies.

Scholars for Sustainability: A Lecture Series

This project provides a space for individuals to express themselves and their interests in a way that fosters discussion. We are organising lectures and workshops related to sustainability and community-centred approaches; whether you listened to a lecture that resonated, or if you’re researching a topic that you think deserves attention. Consider this project as an opportunity to shine the spotlight on academics and their work, organisations, or even ideas from your own research!
