Raising awareness

Throughout the year, the University Library is a focal point for all manner of activities.

Waste Action SMOG

Household-waste campaign
One such event was a waste campaign organized by SMOG (Groningen Students Environment Group). All the waste generated in the Library in an entire week was collected, and the bags were then deposited in a pile by the entrance. The aim of the campaign was to make staff and students aware of how much waste we all create…

A table with offerings and information about the Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los muertos
A group of students from Latin America set up an ofrenda by the Library entrance, consisting of a table with foods and other offerings, a custom on the annual ‘Day of the Dead’, particularly in Mexico.
This was done with the aim of introducing students to the cultural expressions of another country.
