Sustainable initiatives
Sustainability plays an important role in everything NHL Stenden does. Based on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the university of applied sciences continues to work on creating a sustainable environment for students, staff and partners. There are also sustainable initiatives, such as BIJENPACT and the Green Wave: a movement of staff, lecturers and students who together contribute to sustainability.
SustainaBul
The SustainaBul has been organised annually by Studenten voor Morgen since 2012. Participating institutions are assessed on the themes of sustainability in research, education, operations and integral approach. Special initiatives also weigh in, as do the fight against poverty and hunger and the promotion of gender equality.
Groene Peper
Traditionally, the SustainaBul is awarded during Groene Peper. This year's edition took place at NHL Stenden. Groene Peper is the only event on sustainability for mbo, hbo and wo in the Netherlands for networking, inspiration and/or knowledge exchange. The event lasts a week and is intended for everyone in further education with an interest in sustainability.
