About the event

Your Students’ Union is offering a unique opportunity to co-create a real engagement campaign with Coventry City Council  This isn’t just a project, but your chance to influence how important information reaches students across the city.

Working alongside professionals from the Council, SU and University, you’ll help design clear, student-friendly content on topics that matter — from council tax and voting to jobs, wellbeing, and making Coventry feel like home. Your ideas will directly shape campaigns used across official platforms.

You don’t need any prior experience — just your perspective as a student and a willingness to get involved.

Why take part?

  • Build real-world experience you can talk about in interviews
  • Develop skills in communication, creativity, and teamwork
  • Work with professionals in local government, marketing, and student engagement
  • See your ideas brought to life in a live campaign
  • Make a genuine impact on the student experience in Coventry

You need to be available for the three sessions:

  1. Friday 26 June 1-3pm – Arriving in the city!
  2. Tuesday 7 July 10am-12pm – Living in the city!
  3. Friday 9 July 12-2pm – Health, wellbeing and the future

If you want to build your confidence, boost your CV, and be part of something meaningful — this is for you.

Places are limited so reserve your space now and help shape the student voice in Coventry.
