Are you interested in the theme of the community garden? Do you want to be part of it? Do you like meeting new people? The UG Library invites you to a series of events called ‘Let it go green!’.
‘Why “Green Haven”? Where did the idea for the name come from? It is an obvious association with our coastal region, but it is also the name of a place that is meant to provide solace, invite you to relax, slow down, stop for a while. Unhurried, among greenery and sunshine,’ says Marietta Tiszbein of the BUG Promotion Section. ‘We also want the Green Haven at ACB to be a place for meetings, activities, the realisation of passions and fascinating conversations. We would like to invite UG students and staff to co-create our ‘Green Haven’ on the Library's terrace (on the campus side, i.e. Wita Stwosza Street).’
There will be a series of events entitled ‘Let it go green’. We invite you to find out more about the programme:
