In spring 2025, the UP Green University Program Office, in cooperation with the University Student Council, launched the Green University Ambassador program in five dormitories in Pécs, in which students helped each other to develop a more conscious lifestyle and reduce the electricity consumption of the dormitories.

The visuals and the brevity of the presentations are not without reason. The creators of the program want to address the younger generation with very serious topics. The series is part of the UP Green University program.
