In this interactive workshop, students will first work with the SCE team and student ambassadors to build their oracy skills and confidence through a one-hour ethical debate, dynamic dialogue, or Change Maker oracy session. They will then take part in a two-hour session with an academic and/or Postgraduate ambassadors. Faced with the question of the importance of travel for social inclusion and the need to reduce travel to tackle climate change, students will develop their understanding of balancing competing demands when creating policy. Students will develop their critical thinking skills and be challenged to create a persuasive case for the “correct” solution.
