People’s Assembly - student climate resilience

Co-hosted by your YSJ Students’ Union and the Living Lab.
The climate crisis and the cost of living go hand in hand. From food prices to accommodation and access to green spaces, everyday essentials can be hard to sustain.
We need your help shaping the 2024 Friendly Living Fund, a pot of money open to applications from YSJ students with a climate-conscious initiative they would like to implement.
We want you to be part of the decision-making process. Have your say in shaping the fund by taking part in our People’s Assembly, where we explore questions like:
- Who should be eligible?
- How should a student committee be run?
- What should the fund prioritise?
There will also be an opportunity to apply to be on the student-led funding panel.
Never heard of a People’s Assembly (PA)?
A PA is a group gathered to discuss issues and collectively make decisions. With lightning talks from diverse voices, break-out groups and facilitated discussions, PAs end in a vote for next actions. In this case, who will run the Friendly Living Fund, and how!
