Weston College will be hosting and engaging in Great Big Green Week, from 26th - 30th September, the UK's biggest ever celebration of Community Action to tackle Climate Change and protect nature!

In order to celebrate this week, a range of activities and events have been curated to get all members of the Weston College Community involved, and thinking about how to make our future more sustainable and do our part to help with the environmental challenges that lie ahead.

The activities planned for the week are:

Monday - a Q&A session with Chris Hines, a founding member of ‘Surfers Against Sewage’ and a former Sustainability Director of the Eden Project, who has previously spoken at our events, including the Sustainability and Social Action Business Breakfast.

Tuesday - an Engineering and Construction Sustainability Learner Conference, opened by Sir Paul Phillips, with guest speakers and panel Q and A sessions from industry. Our learners will also have the opportunity to compete ‘real-world’ challenges with judges from our key employers.

Wednesday - a Beach Clean will be taking place, in partnership with Weston Pier, where the aim will be to work together to clean the beach!

Thursday - the challenge will be to 'Green Your Campus', as we seek to achieve Net Zero

People taking part will have the opportunity to win awards in the following categories:

• Zero Waste
• Sustainability Awareness
• Carbon Footprint
• Digital Innovation
• Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
• Best Campus
• Outstanding Commitment to Sustainability

Friday - a Smart Living Conference will be held at the Winter Gardens from 3pm-7pm

Beyond this week, we also plan to organise activities in the upcoming year, regarding sustainability and helping the environment, for example more tree planting in partnership with The Woodland Trust and Queens Green Canopy, taking place in April 2023.

The huge range of activities planned for the week will be very exciting for everyone within the Weston College Community. Beyond this, we look forward to seeing wider celebration from across the UK, and the Community Action taking place, to tackle Climate Change and protect nature!

Keep an eye on our social media, to see how we get on throughout the week!
