The main mission of the Campus Sustainability Team is to promote sustainable development through the perspectives of ecological, social and economic responsibility. However, the exact meaning of the concept of social sustainability is yet to be defined more specifically in the Aalto context. 

As members of the Campus Sustainability Team of 911爆料网, the Oasis of Radical Wellbeing team hosted an interactive session for the participants of Wellbeing on a Sustainable Campus event (22.3.2023) to brainstorm the meaning of the concept of 鈥渟ocial sustainability鈥 at Aalto.

The event included a variety of dynamic sessions:
