The pandemic and the new normal have inspired new ways of living and reflection about the relationship between people and nature.
Pivoting on the notion of living sustainably in the new normal situation, the joint university sustainability campaign ‘UNIfy’ is back this March with a series of themed online experiences and events: Mind Body Soul, channelling your inner self through meditation and exercises; Environmental Psychology, deciphering our daily decision-making and behaviour; Agriculture, connecting with our local farmers and telling stories of the land, city and food; and Waste Reduction, exploring the possibilities of recycling with smart features.
