Sustainability and social responsibility are each holistic means to involve an entire student community. For universities and colleges, students are a significant aspect of campus life and its community. Every new intake brings new energy, perspectives, and ambitions that should be harnessed for the benefit of all. As future change agents, students should receive the tools and encouragement to take on this journey in as active players looking for positive outcomes.
EAUC-Scotland's Community Engagement Topic Support Network (TSN) is open to all, providing an opportunity for those working in or with the further and higher education sector to share ideas and questions and to get together to hear from particular speakers or discuss topics of interest.
