Starting a People & Planet group in your uni or college isn’t nearly as hard as it might sound.

First things first, you need to find out if there is already a group at your uni.

If there isn’t, then download our Group Starter Guide. and start one up!

Speakers & Workshops

People & Planet staff and volunteers are available to visit your group. This could be for your first ever meeting or, if you’d prefer, after the group has been established.

They can deliver a training workshop of your choice or give a general introduction to People & Planet giving you loads of ideas of how to get involved in the most vibrant student campaigning network in the UK!
