Birta is the Social and Sustainability Committee of the Student Union at Reykjavik University (SFHR). The committee works to make RU a more responsible and inclusive environment for everyone.
Birta organizes a wide variety of events at RU, such as clothing swaps, book exchanges, educational sessions on mental health and sustainability, as well as company visits (vísindaferðir) and guest lectures.
The committee hosts SFHR Charity Week, a fundraising event dedicated to a meaningful cause, featuring fun challenges, raffles, giveaways, and other activities. The week concludes with a celebratory charity party where students gather to reflect on their collective achievement.
Birta also participates in RU Sustainability Week, and encourages student participation in Plastic-Free Weeks and Sustainable Transport Challenges.
