What is a Campaign?

A campaign starts with one or more students, or an already affiliated group, having an idea or common cause that they are passionate about.
These ideas are then turned into your campaign aims and objectives, which will help you to plan the types of events and activities you run.
Whether this is influencing, advocating or amyplfying voices, campaigning is for all students and anyone can join or run a campaign of their own!
