Become an influencer

“Going greener” is about living smarter, so we’ve teamed up with the Green Team society to create a network of savvy students who can lead change and improve the future for themselves, for others and for the planet.

Whether your passion is climate change, or gender equality or wellbeing – global change needs you.

We’re looking for people interested in 1 or more of the following:

Action projects

Get practical to help students live smarter and make the local and global community more sustainable by;
