Student Leaders

Background

Students Officers and their respective Students' Union/Association can be a key driver for many types of change, including issues surrounding sustainable development and climate justice. Understanding of climate and ecological crisis and sustainability within student governance structures and the wider student body is essential, due to your active role in creating cultural expectations within your institution and SU/SA, and influencing the allocation of resources and activities in line with student community priorities.

This TSN is for student leaders for sustainability to meet, discuss and share ideas, best practice and resources to better support each other as you work for change within your institution.

If you would like to join the mailing list for this group please email scotland@eauc.org.uk.
