Go Green Salford

Go Green Salford 2024

Go Green Salford ran during March 2024 and again for another 2 weeks of events from the 23 of September to 4 October 2024. Activities and events ranged from carbon literacy training, guided walks and tours, litter picks to gardening sessions and cycle maintenance workshops.

Some highlights from our recent Go Green Salford include: 

• Carbon Literacy training delivered by Change Agents UK to our staff and students, allowing for more of our University community to be educated on climate change and sustainability. 
• An insightful Education for Sustainable Development Case Study Event showcasing how academics are embedding sustainability into the curricula. 
• Biodiversity Collage Workshop delivered by Climate Clarity with multiple staff members trained as facilitators, allowing us to educate more people on the value of biodiversity. 
• Walks, gardening and litter picks with the Salford Ranger Team allowing people to appreciate and maintain our green spaces, alongside bike maintenance with the Maker Space encouraging active travel in Salford.

Go Green Salford will be back in March 2025 with more sustainability themed events and activities to get involved with!
