First Ever PBU Spanish Training Day🇪🇸

Last month, the first ever Plant-Based Universities training happened in the University of Alicante. Students in Spain worked together to co-design a strategy and spent time together discussing Alicante’s plant-based transition!🌱

[Plant-Based Universities @plantbasedunis]

But the day was about more than just learning-  it was about building connection. Over shared lunch, stories, and ideas, everyone left inspired and equipped to set up or grow campaigns at their unis. 💡

🌎National training day in Germany!🇩🇪

Last month, over 20 students from 7 universities across Germany gathered for the first-ever national Plant-Based Universities training day! 🚀

[Plant-Based Universities @plantbasedunis]

Campaigners worked together to break down the structure of German universities and designing strategies to bring about 100% plant-based Mensa’s! 🥗

Workshops covered topics including nonviolence, theory of change, and campaigning tools like lobbying, negotiating and outreach.

UCR joins a growing wave of universities aligning their catering with climate science, which shows that a plant-based transition is vital to tackling environmental breakdown 🌍💡.

Leela, a former UCL campaigner, presented PBU on the ‘Global Alliance of Universities on Climate’ stand. While Vivek spoke on a panel discussing agricultural policy. 

From universities to international platforms, campaigners are driving change wherever they go.

[Plant-Based Universities @plantbasedunis]

✨Spotlighting Leela and Vivek

It’s inspiring to see the voices of former and current PBU campaigners were represented at COP 29- where global climate leaders unite to address critical planetary challenges.

So how does PBU make changes at Universities???🤨

Our goal is to make institutional and transformative change by campaigning for 100% plant-based catering. We have multiple strategies that are used to achieve this goal, depending on the structure of the specific university. 🏫
