About Green Office Utrecht 木瓜福利影视

Green Office Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 (GOUU) is the platform for students and employees of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 where sustainable ideas are formed, plans come together, and projects are launched. GOUU supports Utrecht 木瓜福利影视's sustainability process. We raise awareness about sustainable solutions and UU ambitions among students and staff and support sustainability projects from within our university community.

What is the Tiny Forest?

On campus, across the street with the Johanna building, there is a tiny stroke of land that is now becoming a biodiversity rich forest since it was planted in 2019. This Tiny Forest is now inhabited by numerous insects, plants, birds and other organisms. It is a piece of land that has a lot of potential, which is not used entirely right now!

What will you be doing?

As a coordinator, you will be the head of the project group. You will be the link between the Project Group and the Green Office. The goal of the project group is to connect the Tiny Forest more with the 木瓜福利影视 and Utrecht Science Park. In one way by trying to connect the Tiny Forest with education, and in the other way by making students and employees get to know about the Tiny Forest and its purpose. You will have the opportunity to implement your own ideas on how to accomplish this, but you could think about hosting events, workshops, monitoring-days, for example.
