Sustainability Tour to Berlin for University Students
Example study tour
Berlin often features in the list of Europe's most sustainable cities.
With a typically young population, many green spaces and a preference for public transport, it's easy to see why Berlin is a fascinating destination for anyone with an interest in sustainability and climate change.
At StudyLink, we've pleased to offer a great range of visits and tours to help your students to learn about circular economies and how businesses are striving towards the sustainable development goals.
So, whether you’re looking to add sustainability-focussed visits to your faculty-led field trips, or plan to develop entire short-term mobility programmes focussed on the topic of sustainability, we can put together an informative and educational Berlin group travel package to meet your needs.
