We ran a stall at the Ealing Green site of West London College for their Freshers Fair on 10th October 2019, 11:00am to 2:00pm. The students at this FE college are aged between 16 and 18.Our Stall's theme was mainly plastics and climate change. We highlighted the expense and wastefulness of buying water in disposable bottles. We also took a laptop computer so that we could show short films.
When we held a stall at WLC last year, the college had a system by which if the students visit several stalls, they got a free bag of popcorn. This was very effective in encouraging students to visit the stalls. Unfortunately this year the college weren't able to arrange for popcorn, and it was a little harder to get students to engage. However we managed to speak to over 40 people and this is a group we'd really like to get through to, so it feels well worth doing.
We knew we'd meet students from many countries and we came armed with some details about FoE around the world and about the environmental problems in areas such as the middle east and Africa.
