1. Design an email that will be sent to all staff and students, explaining the initiative and it’s importance. (Remember your aim is really to persuade people and get their support).
2. Write a formal letter to the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Higher Education, explaining this pioneering initiative and its importance for the State of Kuwait.
The President of your university is a visionary leader and plans to encourage environmentally friendly initiatives/ procedures within the institution. She hopes that the university will be a pioneer for change in the country and that success in implementing such a project, will also encourage others to do so within Kuwait’s education sector. She wishes to begin this initiative by creating a ‘paper-free’ campus.
The ‘Green Campus’ aims to have a completely “paper free” campus by the end of the 2021-2022 academic year. This initiative has an ambitious goal of decreasing paper usage by 50% in the first six months, and then completely eliminating it by the end of the specified academic year. If successful, all textbooks, library resources, exams and all administrative procedures at the university will be in electronic format only. Furthermore, the university will be the first to introduce such an initiative in the Gulf Region.
