Organising and empowering students in Further Education

My World, My Home – funded by the Big Lottery through the Our Bright Future fund – is a partership between Friends of the Earth and NUS. In twelve colleges in England and Wales, students are being trained up as community campaigners on social justice, sustainability and nature issues.

Over three and a half years, the project will empower 160 students to deliver 60 impactful local campaigns and projects, reaching 6,500 people. The 160 students will have the opportunity to gain the coveted Open College Network Community Campaigning qualification outside of their formal study programme.
