• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Try to make contacts directly with the green-office staff and find out what the business is focussing on so that you can make the most of the collaboration
• Onderwijstype: Voortgezet onderwijs
• Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: This allowed networking with the businesses in our area and let them and the other educational facilities know that AICS is working towards greater sustainability. The collaborations we made with the university were particularly useful and we will not take part in some research that students are conducting!
