Abu Dhabi University’s Sustainable Campus Initiative team won a top prize in the Global Green Art Contest organized by DAEJAYON, an environmental NGO in South Korea.
The ADU team, named ‘Green Canvas’, created virtual events for students from universities around the world using Kahoot! contests, crossword challenges, online debate contests, and a recycled art event. They also demonstrated the sustainable culture prevalent in the UAE through a visit to the Umm Al Emarat Park, showing DAEJAYON the bronze sculptures of local animals installed by the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi, as well as presenting pictures of hydroponic farming in the UAE.
In addition, our team participated in the ACT NOW campaign organized by DAEJAYON to encourage students to learn more about the UNSDGs. The competition exposed our students to the different environmental cultures in countries such as Indonesia, South Korea, Kenya, and Norway.
Green Canvas, consisting of Marcellin Premila Jerome, Asma Amiruddin, Safiya Faizan, Karen Angel, Nabiha Rehanuma, Clincy Cleetus, Sohaira Naveed Mira, Aqsa Gul, and Rania Abdalla Elhossary, won the best ‘Overseas Team’ award and will be representing ADU and the UAE in the Environment Forum for International University Students 2020.
