Green Gown Awards 2018 - Staffordshire University Students’ Union - Finalist

Our student media group, Staffs TV decided to challenge themselves in filming an outside broadcast in multiple, travelling venues. Over 6 weeks the committee prepared the event plans and worked with the Student Engagement team to ensure the project would run smoothly.

Keen to join in our Go Green Week, Staffs TV themed the project around sustainable transport between our Stoke-on-Trent campus and our Centre of Excellence in Stafford. The group were keen to find an eco-friendly car, and so asked the staff to work with our vehicle hire partner, Enterprise to source a vehicle for the day, which the company kindly agreed to sponsor for the event.

The final programme was fantastic, and filming and editing the event gave the students a great opportunity to practice their skills, alongside allowing staff to use their contacts, and pass on valuable experience to a really passionate and positive group of students

Top 3 learnings:

1. We learned that our students care about sustainable travel and the effect on the environment.

2. Our Students developed and showcased their skills in managing large teams in complex settings.

3. Managing students’ innovative ideas is possible, no matter how complex the idea may initially seem.
