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.

Student Activism Weekends

Student Activism Weekends are People & Planet’s key decision making events. Taking place in February 2012, 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

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


Summer Gathering

The Summer Gathering is a 4 day-long training event that is a perfect blend of learning new skills and enjoying chilled-out times in the Oxfordshire countryside. This is our key event for building a strong, sustainable campaigning network where group organisers come to learn from each other and inspiring speakers.

It’s also time for sitting round a campfire swapping stories and getting excited for next year by chatting with all the amazing people in our network.

This year’s Summer Gathering will happen in June 2012.

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.
