Big Debates are all about getting you together and expressing your voice on topics that matter.

The topic for this debate is:

"To what degree is sustainability and social responsibility essential for Universities"

The debate will discuss you views on this topics and look at questions like:

• What do we mean by sustainability and social responsibility?

• Is it solely a corporate responsibility or should it be embedded in everything the University does?

• Should, and could, this be put into every cirriculum?

• Are we in a climate emergency and what can we do?

• What responsiblity do students have and what is the University and Union?

These are just some of the questions that are here to help start and encourage debate but we want to hear from you.
