Overview
- During October/November we run a volunteer
training session with students to tell them more about SSO and train them in peer to peer engagement techniques.
- These are our ‘Student Ambassadors’
- Support from Student Ambassadors can
provide valuable additional resources to the project.
Switch Off Lights…
…and appliances
Put on Layers not the Heating
Only boil what you need
Starting a movement
What do they do?
- Talk to their housemates and friends about SSO
- Wear their SSO t-shirt
- Enter our photo competitions, quizzes and get
their friends involved to.
Going further…
- Help with halls visits and recycling audits…
– particularly helpful where Wardens/RA not available
- Working independently e.g. reposting
competition launches on Facebook
- Setting up own society – Uni. of Southampton
– Society established in 2011/12 and has full committee with reps at each site. – Make their own plans around awareness raising – Stalls outside halls with competitions e.g. how many layers can you get on in a minute – Do halls visits independently – Have been encouraged by the head of Eni Sci
Where we’d like to improve…
- Get more students to the training session
- Increase the level of follow through - from
students coming to our training session to being active throughout the year.
- Give more back to the students who are active
Your Turn…
- How can we get more people to the training
session?
- Do you have students volunteering for other
green projects who would be interested?
- Do you have any environmental or
volunteering awards that we can link to?
- What do you think motivates your students?
Our ideas…
- Working with SU volunteering programs e.g.
Sheffield one off volunteering day.
- Give references at the end of the year
- Continuing to work with students as they go
into the second year.
- Having students develop their own
engagement ideas during the training session
