Swap Shop 2.0 – happening on 11th March during Change Your World Week which will be held in the Cube so there will hopefully be a bigger turnout. The Committee discussed having more of a message behind the event. Tori suggested drawing inspiration from her book on sustainable shopping.
Swap Shop in Winchester – waiting to hear back from staff at Winchester. Sam said that if it was to go ahead, physical marketing would probably be better to market the event.
Pop-up Swap Shop – Environmental Rock were interested in doing a swap shop for their event in May. Tori suggested a possible collaboration with other organisations that do similar events.
Change Your World - the Committee discussed several ideas:
- A booklet on healthy eating on a budget.
- Special deals and promotion of fair-trade products. Sam suggested easy recipes made from ethical products.
- Growing food idea, possibly using spare equipment and soil from an event over summer. The Committee decided that this would be done on Wednesday 9th March, from 11:00-14:00.
- Crunchy Critters idea, with a stand with information to support the activity. The Committee decided to have this on Monday 7th March from 11:00 – 15:00 and that Dan would lead on the project.
- Something visual to show how much food is wasted.
- A leaflet on how to be a sustainable student.
- Sustainability and your degree idea.
- Show a series of films related to sustainability.
