Hosted by the Environmental Society and aided by the Agents4Change campaign, it kicked off the beginning of the 'Climate Change and the Student Movement' conference that began that weekend.

The students made clothes from spare material, unconventional resources and discarded household goods. Student Anna Stephenson-Boyles, for instance, made a 60s style crochet dress with paper doyleys.

Agents4Change is a project coordinated by CSV with support from Tesco and youth volunteering charity v. It aims to empower people aged between 16 and 25 to get involved in community projects.

Community Catalyst at Agents4Change Tom Lennard says, 'This is an entertaining way of getting young people to engage with important environmental issues. Recycling is a regular activity for many Sussex students.'

Indeed, recycling activities are very important to the CSV Make a Difference Day campaign. Could you host an event like this in October? There's plenty of time to prepare and we can help you every step of the way!
