Education

Promoting the integration of sustainability within education is an important goal of the GO Green Office. Part of our strategy is that we wish to represent those student voices who want to integrate more sustainability into their programs, while also showing students what opportunities already exist. As Education Manager, you will be the contact person for students with ideas or complaints about sustainability in their education. You collaborate with the GGO’s strategic manager to lobby for better integration of sustainability in curricula, represent student voices and connect students and staff to facilitate change. You work together with the Education Development Officer of the Sustainability Core Team to jointly make steps forward toward the Education Vision of Sustainable TU/e, but also formulate your own advice for the Sustainability Core Team. Moreover, you inform the student population about existing courses, projects and opportunities and facilitate discussion on the integration of sustainability in education. Lastly, you have the opportunity to reach out to other Green Offices to share best practices between our university and others.

Sustainable Courses

During your studies, you will be allowed to fill up some elective slots in your study program. If you would like to orient yourself in regards to Sustainability, it can be a challenge to orient yourself around the countless courses offered at TU/e. With this page, we aim to supply you with an arrangement of courses that we deem to be in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. This page is by no means exhaustive, if you believe a course should be added to this list you can contact education@gogreenoffice.nl
