ECO Club
Our aim:
To build a Community of Leaders through Understanding the world around us and our roles within them, while having FUN!
Clubbers:
Our members are fun-loving people who are open minded and want to know more about the world and develop themselves. They participate actively, discuss openly and love to organise activities for their fellow clubbers. They walk the talk and are eager to transform what they learn into their daily lives and influence their peers. If this sounds like what you are (or wanna be), we welcome you!”.
