Current events
Go Green Salford is our Festival of Sustainability held around March and October every year. This is an opportunity to highlight the importance of sustainability, some of the fantastic University of Salford initiatives and inspire positive action among our students, colleagues and local community.
Our October Go Green Salford runs Saturday 10 to Friday 23 October with lots of events to get involved with.
We've split our weeks into themes, to help you navigate the Go Green Salford events. Our first week is focused on Skills and Learning where you can grow your understanding of sustainability and climate change and build your green skills. Week two is Action, where you can apply what you've learned in week one to take tangible action with impact both on campus and beyond. In between we have our usual Bioblitz where you can learn more about biodiversity and nature.
