Campaigns

What do we mean by “campaigns”?

A campaign is a way of inspiring or instigating positive change. Hallam Union is a campaigning organisation which means we run regular campaigns throughout the year on subjects that are relevant to you. We run campaigns on various subjects such as tuition fees, registering to vote, sexual health and acting ethically and responsibly. Any student is able to get involved with helping us develop and deliver our campaigns so if you have an interest about  a certain subject and want to help get the message out to students this is how you can.

To see an example of a campaign that we ran last year as a regional spin off of an NUS national campaign click here.

Why get involved with campaigns?

By getting involved in campaigning you will have the opportunity to really make a difference on issues you care about. You will also gain valuable skills for your degree and CV including communications skills, team skills, marketing and events planning.

This opportunity may be of particular interest if you are on a marketing, media, design or events management course as you will be able to get useful experience for your portfolio and to talk about in job interviews.
