The Green Team

Empowering Sustainable Changemakers

We are a student initiative of the Technical University of Munich

Who are we?

Many people see the immense challenges that the world is facing today, and this drives them to leave a positive impact in their communities and on the world. But often we feel limited by a lack of opportunity, skills, networks, or connections to take meaningful action. This is the gap The Green Team wants to bridge by fulfilling our mission to empower students to be changemakers in sustainability. Our vision is to support students of today as they become future leaders and enablers of a sustainable world.

The Green Team aims to emphasise “empowerment” each time, to make sure our future change-makers are given sufficient support to do what they were destined to do – make our world a better place.

Student Talks

The Student Talks explore empowerment through knowledge transfer. The aim is to create an environment, where students involved in different areas of environmental, social or economic sustainability are given support, platform and necessary skills to meaningfully communicate their knowledge, thoughts, and experiences. At the same time, the listeners are inspired by fellow students to take a leap and pursue what they believe in, and also gain knowledge and discuss topics they are interested in.

Book Club

Meet–ups to discuss books on sustainability related topics. Participants openly exchange ideas and opinions, explore new information, engage in analytical thinking, and generative discussions.

Field Trips

To see and experience sustainability initiatives in action, field trips facilitate immersive learning excursions that also encourage connections and expanded student to workforce networks

Sustain-a-Thesis

Facilitated workshops support students as they develop their sustainability related thesis ideas in a collaborative space. The project provides guidance, resources, and feedback to support students.

“The responsibility of bringing about a positive change lies on the shoulders of especially those who have the means and the brains to do it. As Margaret Mead rightly said, ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.’ I believe that The Green Team provides the platform for young minds to participate in a rich, impactful dialogue and creates more awareness and enlightenment regarding sustainability”

“Leaders do not shine by their own energy; true leadership is the one that unlocks the strength of other people. That’s what I love about TGT, it’s heartening to be part of a group of students helping their peers become agents of sustainable change!”

"As Gaylord Nelson said “There is a great need for the introduction of new values in our society, where bigger is not necessarily better, where slower can be faster, and where less can be more.” The Green Team projects, in my opinion, are crucial change agents that encourage us to think carefully about the influence of our decisions on the planet's sustainable future"
