What you can do during Go Green Week?
Theme your week
People & Planet has suggested themed days and a list of activities to help you structure your Go Green Week programme and raise awareness around the four transition behaviours. However, if you’ve come up with a great new idea or want to run the activities on different days, then feel free to chop and change. Click on the list below to find out more:
The Big Launch
Go Green Week will be a chance to launch your Going Greener campaign and showcase the practical transition projects your group has been developing to the wider student & staff community. Rather than just putting on a one-off event, Go Green Week is about creating opportunities for lasting change. Think about how you can use a Go Green Week launch to start an ongoing scheme that will reduce your institution’s emissions or gather wider interest for a project already running.
Create your transition vision
Picture what you would want your university to look like in 2030 and use Go Green Week to present your vision in an inspiring and accessible way. You could:
- Make a film or animation and work with the film society or union TV station to show it
- Write a play or interactive piece of drama and work with the drama society to put it on
- Paint a green graffiti mural.
- Work with the photography society to put on a photo exhibition*.
Measuring success
Think about how you can measure results when planning your activities and don’t forget to record how many people come to your events. Not only will it give you a warm fuzzy feeling of achievement, it helps People & Planet measure the national impact of your campaigns.
Fundraising
People & Planet really rely on the network’s fundraising during Go Green Week in order to run innovative climate change campaigns. From selling cakes, collecting donations, or charging a small sum for your events, our target is for each uni group to raise around £200. DON’T FORGET to donate what you raise to People & Planet using this online form and make sure you say it was raised during Go Green Week.
