Condus’s Environment and Well-Being Team aims to support the well-being of Condus’s members and ensure the responsibility and sustainability of Condus’s activities. In practice, the team carries out its duties by annually reviewing the Environment and Well-Being Goals document that guides Condus and its member organizations, implementing and supporting activities in line with the document, and collaborating with the faculty on environmental matters and with teaching staff on (distance) learning practices. Condus’s Environment and Well-Being Officers organize the activities of the Siltavuorenpenger Well-Being and Environment Committee.
The easiest way to get involved in environmental and well-being activities is through the Siltavuorenpenger Environment and Well-Being Committee, which all students in the faculty can join. Condus’s Environment and Well-Being Team is made up of Condus board members and officers—anyone interested can also join as an officer year-round.
Duties of the Team
Siltavuorenpenger Environment and Well-Being Committee
The duties of Condus’s Environment and Well-Being Team vary annually depending on what issues are considered most important at any given time regarding environmental matters and student well-being. Activities may include improving recycling opportunities in study, organization, and student spaces, organizing and promoting the sharing economy, highlighting environmental issues in faculty space planning, arranging surplus food cooking or flea market events, participating in demonstrations and training sessions, and developing and promoting (distance) learning practices that support student well-being. All team members get to influence the kinds of activities the team carries out.
Condus’s Environment and Well-Being Officers organize the activities of the Siltavuorenpenger Environment and Well-Being Committee. The committee brings together all environment and well-being officers in the faculty to harmonize organizational practices and promote the achievement of shared goals. The committee organizes events and training sessions and convenes as needed regarding campus and student matters. Anyone can join the committee’s activities, and it requires no long-term commitment.
Environment and Well-Being Goals
Condus’s Environment and Well-Being Team annually reviews the Environment and Well-Being Goals document, which contains binding goals for Condus and guiding principles for member organizations to support well-being as well as responsible and sustainable operations. Amendments to the document are approved at Condus’s Autumn General Meeting, and member organizations commit to following its principles during their upcoming term. You can find the current Environment and Well-Being Goals document on the “Rules and Guidelines” page.
