Wageningen Environmental Platform (WEP) is a student organization, a platform for students with a pro-active stance towards sustainability in their direct surroundings. We aim to stimulate students in greening their behaviour and lifestyle by organizing activities, like lectures and workshops and by promoting local initiatives. WEP offers support to students who come with ideas of their own and aims to connect students and sustainability-related initiatives within the community of Wageningen.
WEP manages a secondhand bookshop for study books for WUR courses and offers subscriptions to vegetable and fruit bags from local, organic farm De Stroom.

After we have collected some tasty wild plants and flowers we will go the Eco-village Ppauw and prepare a nice meal together with the harvest.
Date & time: June 26th, 15:00
Costs: €4,- in cash.
