Join us for this special episode of the Lund University International Podcast, live from Stadshallen: discover how international students from around the world weave sustainability into their life and studies at Lund, often in ways they never expected, as we discuss how your surroundings can inspire more sustainable habits.

International students at Lund University encounter a new rhythm of life, where sustainability is woven into every day, sometimes in surprising ways! For this special live‑recorded episode of the Lund University International Podcast, we’re bringing the conversation to the stage at Stadshallen, inviting a panel of international students to discuss their experiences, insights and anecdotes on how the world's most sustainable university has shaped their life and studies.

This one-hour session will tackle questions on adjusting to life and studies in Lund and Sweden and what new sustainable habits our students have picked up. We'll delve into everything from exciting new initiatives to mundane aspects of life we otherwise take for granted: cycling culture, second-hand shopping, plant‑based eating, recycling practices, the Swedish approach to community and wellbeing, and much more.

We welcome you to join us as part of the audience, listen in as the conversation unfolds, and learn from the unique perspectives of our international students!
