Introducing the first-ever SOS-UK Sustainability Bootcamp - designed especially for elected officers to kick-off the new academic year prepared with the knowledge, skills, and network to hit the ground running.

During this two-day online training, participants will:

• Connect with other elected officers from across the UK, building their network and support system for the year ahead;
• Develop campaigning and project management skills;
• Deepen their understanding of sustainability and social justice, including understanding the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability;
• Discuss practical actions that officers can take at their own institutions, including declaring a climate emergency (& how to ensure action!), working on a Green New Deal for colleges and universities, or supporting the Teach the Future campaign;
• Understanding the basics of behaviour change theory and education for sustainable development, so that these concepts can underpin future projects and campaigns;
• And prepare for the year ahead.

The training will take place 10:00am - 4:00pm each day (Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 September), with regular breaks throughout.
