The Test Site is a student-led network encouraging experimental projects in practical sustainability.
We are a growing community with flat hierarchies curious to learn from each other through skill and knowledge sharing principles.
The Test Site’s bountiful harvest
At the Test Site we aim our attention at planning and carrying out meaningful projects collectively.
Currently the Test Site community runs a number of projects and workshops throughout the year. Each project has a coordinator and a project page.
Activities such as workshops, events, construction and gardening usually take place from early spring and until late Fall. During the winter months we reflect on the lessons learned, develop new project ideas as well as prepare for the next season.
