This will be followed by a workshop on “green roofs” in which students will be able to make a green roof tile to take home, while finding out about the opportunities they will have within the framework of UNIgreen. Finally, students will also be able to participate in a contest on circular economy.

This joint action will result in the delivery of about 200 plants, which the students will plant and take back to their homes. At the same time, it will be an opportunity to promote the opportunities that the UNIgreen Alliance offers.
