About GreenTeam

We are a team with endless drive

Η GreenTeam είναι μια ομάδα που γεννήθηκε από μέλη του Πανεπιστημίου Κρήτης. Ήρθαμε κοντά στην πρώτη διοργάνωση Climathon για το Ηράκλειο (2018) κερδίζοντας το πρώτο βραβείο. We continued together by joining forces with U.Grow, with the aim to cause change – instead of just talking about it.

We deal with issues that are relevant:

  1. Education with themes that fall under sustainability, inclusivity and environmental policy – which we achieve in a variety of ways, such as organising quality, educational events.
  2. Environmental policy with the aim of influencing towards building a future that benefits both today and tomorrow. At the University, we achieve this by identifying key improvement points regarding the ecological integrity of University structures and finding creative solutions or proposals for upgrading. We then consult with the relevant institution, communicating our suggestions and provoking discussion around them.
