Become a Student Leader:
We’re looking for students who want to take the responsibility of leading Connecting East events in the upcoming terms. If you have an interest in all things gardening, sustainability, photography, and wildlife: then this is the role for you! This is a great opportunity for you to get involved with and something that will give you plenty to put on your CV. If you want to put on a brand new event under Connecting East, then we will be more than happy to assist and fund your ideas. Don’t forget to give us an email if you are interested!

If you have a sustainable topic you are passionate about and want to get it advertised to the student population, then propose your topic to us and we’ll let you take the lead. For those of you who can’t think of anything to write about off the bat, don’t worry because we have a list of blog topics that you can pick from!
Photography Competition:
