These are some examples of what a skygarden would contribute with in the city of Dublin:
-> Quiet green space and gardens for Dublins office workers to enjoy sun, air and water.
-> Better management of urban runoff because roof gardens detain and transpire water.
-> Less particulate load in the air (and less asthma) because roof gardens turn dust into soil.
-> A quieter Dublin, due to the roof gardens absorbation of noise.
-> Less energy consumption by the city, because roof gardens provide insulation (“cool when its hot and warm when its not'”)
-> Fitter and healthier Dubliners, because exercise facilities can be made available on rooftop green space.
-> A more beautiful city, because everyone loves greenery.
-> More birds in Dublin, because roof gardens provide habitat space for feeding and breeding.
-> Less carbon dioxide in the air - and therefore less global warming!
-> Roof gardens and green roofs extend the life of the existing roof fabric by up to 70%. Further savings are also made from improved insulation . They also substantially enhance re-sales values.
Our Vision caught on Camera!

If I had to choose one of many things I adore about the KaosPilots, then it has to be that you as a student TAKE your own education. It's not being given to you! I have woked as a HRM for two years, started a youth organisation in Stockholm, worked as Key Account Manager, Cocktail Bartender and after studying law for 2 years at the University of Stockholm, I decided to do something different and more appealing. I had a look at the KP website and let's just say I found what I was searching for!

Since high school I have: been conscientious objector, had a ice-cream van, worked with kids, been bar-tending, arranged a miss competition, partied, loved, been up, been down, been around... I’m of nature a dreamer. At the moment I attend the KaosPilots Team 13, where I see the potential of making my dreams come true.
Camilla Rask Misser, Denmark
Why is the KaosPilots the right education for me? Because I´m curious, optimistic, creative and like to be in an international school, I have a social and global interest, I want to “change the game” by implementing sustainable and environmental awareness, I´m not afraid of challenges and I would like to make a positive difference in the world!
