about the project
Focus Sustainability is the national centre for student engagement with sustainability in Switzerland. The centre was launched in February 2021 by the Swiss Association of Student Organisations for Sustainability (VSN-FDD-FSS) and the Swiss Student Union (VSS-UNES-USU). Focus Sustainability is a centre by students, for students. The students, volunteers and project leads behind Focus Sustainability are committed to supporting all students at higher education institutions in their engagement with sustainability in the best way possible. The goal of the national centre is to create a national network of students, higher education institutions and support platforms to assist students getting meaningfully engaged with sustainability.
