Registration for the Student Sustainability Summit 2017 is now open! And this year it�s a two-for-one; our sustainable food Student Eats conference is the day before.
The NUS Student Sustainability Summit is upon us. It�s one of the year�s biggest gatherings of students and students� union staff devoted to all things �sustainability�. And this year, it coincides with the Student Eats Conference, so delegates get a double whammy of ethical and environmental workshops and talks.
The Student Sustainability Summit, at Coventry Students� Union on 8th November 2017, will be a day of learning, engaging and collaborating to build capacity and skills relating to a wide variety of issues. Here are just a few of the workshops on offer:
- A practical guide to community organising
- Connecting the dots � sustainability and liberation
- Tackling food waste on campus
- Divestment on campus and beyond
Have a look at the full programme, and vote for your ideal sessions to fill the gaps. We want the day to match your interests and meet your needs � so we�re enlisting democracy to decide some of the workshops.
This year�s Student Sustainability Summit is extra special as it�s preceded by our Student Eats Conference. Also at Coventry Students� Union, the day before - on 7th November - we are holding the nation�s biggest event devoted to students and sustainable food growing and enterprise. Join us for a day of talks, tasters and workshops. We�ll have talks from Toast Ale, who make beer from surplus bread, and Get Wonky, who produce fruit juices from unconventionally shaped produce; workshops on preserving and food growing � and a whole lot more!
Having these two rare opportunities side-by-side hopefully means you�ll be able to attend both � and there�s a discount for those who do.
Both events are tailored for students� union staff, officers or students with an interest in sustainability. Some unions are also sending their environmental committee.
Register now to secure your place � and join the conversation on Twitter @nus_sustainable, and using #SSSNUS17 and #studenteats17
