Green Office Activities

The new academic year has officially opened, which means that Green Office is also ready to welcome you for several interesting and sustainable activities. The starting activity is a first: an introduction to the "community garden" project on campus Groenenborger. This unique vegetable garden concept is led by our expert Maggy Goossens. She will give us a word about the project. Of course, we won't sit still and help prepare the vegetable garden for winter. At the end of the introduction, you will receive a nice gadget for gardening in your dorm room.

Green office not only focuses on students but also goes out with staff members of the university. Thus, on Wednesday 25 October, the Green Officers will guide the UA staff association around the sustainable shopping landscape of the heart of Antwerp.

During the 2-hour walk through the city, we will not only show how easy it is to shop cheaply and sustainably, but we will also try to scientifically frame the positive impact of it. The tour will end with a fairtrade drink in the Oxfam bookshop.

Pieter Van Eecke • 2023 • Belgium, Netherlands • 74 min • English subtitles • Free entrance

Green Office @the movies. The nights are getting longer and the temperature is gradually going down: time for a movie night! On December 7, we will watch his latest film "Planet B" in the presence of director Pieter Van Eecke.

Two young people grow up in a world that destroys itself. They each seek their own path and test how far they are willing to go in their actions.

Thirteen-year-old Bo lives in a quiet neighborhood, has a loving family, lots of friends and is doing well in school - a pretty perfect teenage life. Like young people around the world, Bo is curious, questions everything and is rebellious. As she follows the news, she becomes increasingly aware of the destruction of our planet - not only in faraway places, but also closer to home, in Belgium. She decides to fight climate change and joins Extinction Rebellion, along with her bosom friend Luca. They occupy factory sites and highways, and soon face opposition: they are ignored, criticized and arrested, and even spend time in police cells. While Luca proposes increasingly radical actions, the more thoughtful Bo seeks her own way through the challenges of our time.

Planet B is the coming-of-age story of two young teenagers trying to grow up in a world that is destroying itself. What will it take to make people realize that there is no Planet B?

• WHAT: Documentary "Planet B" with director Pieter Van Eecke - Dutch spoken with English subtitles
• WHEN: Thursday, December 7
• START: 7 p.m.
• WHERE: room R.008 on the city campus
• ENTRANCE: absolutely free!
