Leicester holds 12 Days of sustainability to promote change
Are you dreaming of a green Christmas? The University's Social Impact Team has collaborated with students to embark upon 12 days of sustainability, uniting festive cheer with global sustainability awareness.
Until 12 December, each day at 12pm the University of Leicester’s Social Impact Team will be posting a United Nations Sustainable Development goal on their Facebook page.
Kicking off on 1 December, the team offered up a reminder focused around poverty and waste. The goal of general health and wellbeing was marked on 2 December with the annual ‘Santa Run’ around Victoria Park, and gender equality celebrated with a youtube video breaking down gender stereotypes.
Student Tom Lawson said: “It’s great that students have taken the festivities of Christmas to heart and are using it to spread some good; it shows that both staff and students are fully supporting the University’s pledge to the UN SDGs”.
