1. My name is Zoe, i am from Greece and i am twenty four years old. I am an undergraduate student of Environmental Science at the University of Aegean which it is situated in the city of Mytilene on the island of Lesvos. After studying for three years business administration at University of Piraeus, I decided to turn my educational route into another direction. That's why now i study environmental science and i am absolutely glad for taking and materializing this decision. My fields of interest approach wastewater management, negative effects to environment through intensive agriculture, environmental and agriculture policy. I like reading (primarily novels), going outdoor walks, cycling, movies but what i really enjoy is travelling. In my spare time i do crafting and i like having good time with friends.
During the Spring School i expect to experience interesting discussions and gain new insights on environmental issues with students from other countries and with different backgrounds and points of views. More specifically i would like to gain further knowledge on sustainable development in fieldtrip as well as on Europe's policies regarding all the issues which we will represented by the EVS students in the course.
2. According to an effort to be more "green" our university, a group of postgraduate students have handed in a project for constructing a vegetable garden in the area of university. Τhe realization of this attempt will begin in September of 2014 and it will be entirely financed by greek institutions. Some agriculturalists will contribute by offering the needed equipment as well. The conservation of vegetable garden is ensured by including it in the educational program of Environment and Geography departments of the university.
