Countdown to The Sustainability Challenge

16 Sep 2016

8,000 students, 9 buildings, 1 day - The Sustainability Challenge is on Tuesday, 20 September

Sustainability Challenge

As part of the 2016 Manchester Welcome, on Tuesday, 20 September, all 8,000+ first year undergraduate students will take part in the Sustainability Challenge, a 2.5 hour simulation activity based on building a new campus for the fictitious University of Millchester. 

The Sustainability Challenge is also the first step students will take towards achieving the new Manchester Leadership Award which launches this year. 

More than 200 staff and postgraduate research students have volunteered to help deliver the Challenge on the day and staff from across the University have also been closely involved in the content, planning and logistics of the Challenge. 

If you’d like to find out more about the Sustainability Challenge we’ve written some Frequently Asked Questions for staff.

You can support the Challenge by encouraging students to attend and pointing students in the right direction on the day.

Stellify

The Sustainability Challenge is part of Stellify - bringing together a whole host of extra and co-curricular activities that students can explore and benefit from at Manchester, which give them the chance to broaden horizons, understand the issues that matter and step up to make a difference to the local and global community.
