Sixth form and FE college students

Have you ever felt powerless? Have you ever been presented with an image or a story and felt outraged but not known how to act? how to change? how to make a difference?

We understand how this feels. And we want to change this.

People & Planet is a network ran by and for students and young people. We are here to represent you. We listen to young people and run campaigns on the issues that matter to us. By working as a network we can ensure that those in power are unable to ignore the views of young people and we really can use our pressure to bring about change.

To maximise the impact of People & Planet’s voice, the students of the network choose just two issues to focus on. The issues that are chosen become our campaigns.

What is a campaign?

A campaign is a series of actions that pushes for change. AND IT WORKS. History is littered with examples of popular pressure making a difference. The end of slavery, the end of apartheid, dropping the debt, MakePovertyHistory. These are all excellent examples of how people can make real change happen. And you can get involved.

Our Campaigns

We are currently running two campaigns that will allow you to make a big impact at your school or college. These are the Wear Fair campaign and also the Go Green campaign. The campaign actions that we can help you to plan are designed to be entertaining and to have a mass appeal so that they will deliver a big impression that cannot be ignored.
