People Behind UNIgreen: Dima Jayyusi

Could you please introduce yourself? 

My name is Dima Jayyusi and I currently live in Almería, Spain, although I am of Palestinian and German origin. Currently I’m studying my Bachelors degree in Social Work at University of Almería where I’m also the UNIgreen Student Ambassador, representing the students of our institution whilst promoting the alliance among the student community.

Which added value or benefits of UNIgreen would you like to highlight, and why? 

In my opinion, UNIgreen has a number of benefits, but what I personally really value is the international aspect of the alliance. Having participated in a BIP by UNIgreen I can say that I have had the opportunity to connect with a number of people from different cultural and academic backgrounds, which allowed me to expand my cultural horizon and take away new perspectives on different topics. 

To me, these are unique opportunities that allow the young minds of Europe to come together and construct a more sustainable and equal future.

Please tell us what UNIgreen means to you, and use one word to describe it. 

If I had to describe UNIgreen in one word, it would be knowledge because ultimately it is what we aim to create and transmit as (future) professionals. In my opinion, it is the key to a society nurtured by a sense of unity, justice and community, in line with the values of the alliance. Therefore, knowledge is power, knowledge is UNIgreen.
