Implementing ecology among students in Higher education
Help your students and your campus life become greener in many ways.
Every year, Students Weeks for Ecology and Solidarity celebrate various initiatives to gather students and actors acting for more sustainable societies and campuses. Usually held from 11 March to 14 April.
At SALTO Green, our mission is to highlight and promote green initiatives—especially in higher education, where students and institutions are driving inspiring change through ecology and Erasmus+ projects.
