Celebrating Sustainability Across UM, A Look Back at Sustainability Days 2025 - Part 2
From April 22nd to May 9th, Maastricht University came alive with a wide array of events celebrating sustainability across its faculties. Each faculty brought its own unique vision to the table, proving that sustainability isn't just about climate, it's about connection, and everyday choices.
Get to know what FASoS, FHML and FSE did during these inspiring days!
FASoS Sustainability Day
FASOS brought its own cozy vibe on May 1st with a movie night of its own at the Sustainability Hub. This time, the film was chosen spontaneously by attendees, a lovely way to connect over shared stories and sustainability themes and of course good old pizza. Earlier that day, the FASOS Green Team hosted a Crochet Workshop led by the student association Maastitch, offering a chance to learn new skills and create sustainable handmade items. For those looking for something more active, an uplifting Anti-Gravity Yoga session in the evening at MAC Yoga gave participants a fresh perspective literally as they flowed through poses suspended in hammocks.
FHML Sustainability Days
Meanwhile, the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences turned Randwyck into an eco-exploration zone on May 6th and 7th with an all day Sustainability Scavenger Hunt. FHML also hosted its own edition of the Indoor Air Quality Workshop and wrapped up its events with a Sustainability Pub Quiz at the Faculty Bar, turning environmental learning into a fun, competitive night.
FSE Sustainability Days
Finally, the Faculty of Science and Engineering brought things to a close on May 9th with a Donut Model Open Table in the FSE common space. Alongside free donuts, visitors could explore this innovative framework for sustainable development and city design. Right next to it, a "Fill-the-Gaps" Climate Fresk game encouraged students to reflect on the interconnectedness of climate systems through an popular activity that tied the entire campaign together.
A huge thank you to all the Green Teams for organizing the events for Sustainability Days 2025!
Altogether, these days weren't just about learning, they were about living sustainability in creative, communal, and meaningful ways. From yoga mats to knitting needles, movie screens to pub quizzes, each faculty showcased that sustainability can be in everything we do. As the events wind down, the momentum doesn't have to. The challenge now is to carry this spirit forward in everything we do inside and outside the university.
