Support People & Planet by hosting an event
As well as fundraising, there are other, equally important ways you can support us. If your group is keen to help us organise an event and you think your university, college or school could be a good venue, let us know
The Forum
It helps the staff team massively if People & Planet groups get involved in planning the Forum locally (booking the venues, negotiating to get a reduced fee, suggesting good party venues, etc.)
Essential venue requirements:
- 1 main room that holds around 100 people in a circle, and a few smaller rooms
- Accommodation for all participants (in sport halls, church halls, community centre, etc.)
- Fits a small budget, contact us for more details
But the key thing is keen P&Pers who will liaise with us during the planning period. Is this you? Then please get in touch and the Forum 2009 could be at your university!
Regional Events
If you want to host an event in your region or have a good idea for the next regional event you should contact your Regional Rep
P&P groups get together
Shared Planet
As the largest student conference of its kind in the UK, Shared Planet is challenging to organise. A few groups have expressed their interest in hosting this event in future years and we are about to confirm Birmingham as the Shared Planet host for 2008.
And from next year the Shared Planet venue will hopefully rotate between 3 or 4 cities across the UK in a cyclical fashion so as to establish a good institutional knowledge of the venues and develop a solid working relationship with those universities.
