Testimonies
Are you curious about the Green Office and how you can use it? Here’s some feedback from guests and partners!
Sophia Leeber, former leader of the Student Garden
“The Green office and the Student garden have collaborated closely since the very start of the Green Office! Together we have organized natural paint workshops, screen-free night, composting workshops, kombucha workshop and an amazing garden party! The green office has also invited us to join the reuse day and we have held stands together multiple times. They have also supported us by letting us use the office for meetings. We in the Student Garden are excited for more collaborations in the future”
Minji Woo, frequent user of the sewing machine at the Office
“I had the opportunity to take two sewing classes at the Green Office and had a wonderful time. Since then, I’ve continued to go back to the Office to use the sewing machine to create various items out of recycled materials. It’s helped me embrace a more sustainable lifestyle, and it feels great to be learning a new skill at the same time."
Arnt Maasø, Associate professor at Department of Media and Communication
"The Green Office organised a lecture and digital clean-up workshop for the students in my class Framing the environment in media and communication studies. They do great work and are easy to collaborate with. I highly recommend teachers or student groups to visit them and include them in your activities."
