<div dir="ltr">Hi Jeff,<div>I believe that the best way 'in' is through the student councils, with the intention of setting up student council sponsored conversations. I also recommend that you contact people at organizations like Greenpeace who have been successful at getting events set up for them on campuses for a long time. They also, each with their passion, want to engage with students for a brighter future.</div><div><br></div><div>If it were me, and I didn't want to do too much work to get this moving, and I didn't have too big a vision at first, I would simply book space on campus that allowed for a meeting room, be prepared to have a number of four hour long OST events on the theme 'Creating the Future You Love' or similar...pass out leaflets and get on with it...letting the people present give advice on how to get more space opened. </div><div><br></div><div>Warmly,</div><div>Birgitt<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 8:33 PM Jeff Aitken via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">I don't mean anything elaborate or mechanical.
