Want to learn more about how to build strong student and staff partnerships, boost student engagement and structurally embed sustainability within your institution? This workshop offered delegates a chance to design a student-led and staff-supported sustainability hub. Students, staff and faculty work together in such a hub to implement, and facilitate change towards sustainability in education, research, operations, community and governance. These sustainability hubs - or Green Offices as they are called in the Netherlands  – have been set up already at 17 universities in 4 countries and were recognised with the UNESCO Prize on Education for Sustainable Development in 2015.
