Lead and Change is our flagship training event for newly elected and re-elected Officers, designed to broaden networks, develop the skills needed to lead and discuss the key issues we face as a movement. As with other NUS events we are reviewing the format this may take in light of Covid-19, to ensure we keep everybody safe, whilst maintaining an outstanding developmental experience for our student leaders. The course will now be delivered online. Details on reviewed format and dates to come. We will provide updates via our usual channels and update this page accordingly.
