Green Gown Awards 2021 – Looking for Inspiring Projects from University Graduates
14th April 2021
The Green Gown Awards UK and Ireland recognise the exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK and Ireland. All categories are open to any post-16 education establishment.
The Enterprise category, sponsored by CUBO, is looking for initiatives from existing students or alumni (up to a maximum of 3 years from leaving the institution). The category recognises social, social media and sustainable enterprise as key ingredients of contemporary education to ensure a supply of education leavers who can rise to the 21st century’s economic, environmental and social challenges. If you have established a sustainability initiative/enterprise, the Awards are keen to hear from you.
Enterprise skills such as creativity, innovation, resilience, opportunity recognition and self-determination are crucial elements, as are the entrepreneurial skills for new business generation. Judges will, particularly this year, want to see how the pandemic has impacted on initiatives and what opportunities this has brought.
It is free to apply, Stage One closes at noon on Thursday 3 June, 2021, and you can find out more on the website.
