Session Reports Section 2: Second campaign theme from 2009/10

Working groups were established to consider each of the seven campaign theme proposals that students had submitted. Participants at The Forum were allocated a working group according to their preference.

The working groups considered the proposals against the criteria established by the Management Committee; in particular, they were looking at the criteria that the proposal did least to meet. This was to get everyone thinking critically and potentially to improve the proposal if it were to be chosen.
