Hi everyone,
The development society at the university, known as the U8, is hosting 4 simultaneous workshops on the issues of development. This is a very rare event as the workshops are being run by specialists from the New Internationalist magazine.
This week there will be a Campaign Planning Session, where we'll be working on setting up a few new core campaigns on creating a Greener Uni, how to Green up a Student House (i.e. Private Rented Accommodation), awareness raising of how to make positive lifestyle changes, and encouraging political activism to build on these changes.
We will also be considering the prominence of our other campaigns relative to these new core few.
An informal evening. Come along to see what we do, and how you could get involved.

This was a great event last fortnight for those who came. We had a really good turnout, and hope that you managed to come away with some understanding of the workings of the UN. We don’t expect you to know all the procedures by heart but you will surely acquire them with more practice, so come along to our next meeting on Wednesday the 5th of November.

With consumers in the west paying as much as several thousand times what the farmer recieves for the same product in the third world, it's no wonder poverty is rife in most of the world. 'Black Gold' investigates the coffee business and uncovers these injustices. Wake up and smell the coffee!
