People & Planet events

Shared Planet, Student Activism Weekends and the Summer Gathering. There is also the Summer Campaigns Day for school & college students. And opportunities to do festival stewarding at many of the summer’s big music festivals.

Summer Gathering

The Summer Gathering is THE event for people who will be involved in People & Planet groups and campaigns next year. With workshops, bonfires and probably a ceilidh, the Summer Gathering is Britain’s best activist training event.

You’ll get the chance to meet activists from all around the country; building our network for the year ahead. Be there, or you’ll be missing out.

This year’s Summer Gathering will happen be 24 - 28 June 2012.

Summer Gathering…Where the movement begins

Shared Planet

Prepare to change the world

Shared Planet is a weekend event full of inspiring speakers, practical and informative workshops, debates, films, stalls and fun. Shared Planet 2011 was held in Oxford Town Hall on 12/13 November. Check out the programme


Student Activism Weekends

Student Activism Weekends are People & Planet’s key decision making events. Taking place in February each year, these events will be an opportunity for groups in each region to:

  • debate, discuss and decide on the direction of People & Planet’s work.

  • Get training and learn new skills

  • Meet other activists and strengthen our network

Summer Campaigns Day - for college and school students

Saturday June 19th is Summer Campaigns Day and it’s your chance to get inspired and learn how to make a massive difference.

We’ve teamed up with Oxfam to give you a day bursting with compelling speakers, creative campaign planning, hands-on workshops, delicious food and great company, all nestled in the magnificently summery grounds of Oxford University.
