People & Planet is a student network campaigning for social and environmental justice. The network covers most UK universities, providing support for local student campaign groups to organise through resources, events, training and comms.
Three main goals of People & Planet
- Empower the next generation of changemakers by training and mentoring young people, including those underrepresented in social movements, to become key drivers of change, with skills and motivations that last their whole lives.
- Achieve systemic change by developing campaigns in coalition with front-line communities, which tackle the root causes of social and environmental injustice, and create radical alternatives and narratives that are able to shift mainstream opinion and structures.
- Transform the education sector by steering universities and colleges to play a just role in the economy, and act as hotbeds for new ideas.
