Climate Change and the Student Movement conference
This conference, held in Brighton on the weekend of the 6 to 8 June, is the first of its kind. It has been organised by student groups from around the country, and they want you to be a part of it!
The organisers say:
Join us for two days of workshops, keynote speakers and practical campaigning sessions on Climate Change: the science, the politics and what we can do about it.
With Caroline Lucas MEP, George Marshall, Peter Bunyard, Greenpeace, People & Planet and many more special guest speakers, come and meet students from around the country to plan the 08/09 campaigning year!
