Green Week

By shopping vintage and second-hand instead of new, we can help take the pressure off the high street and alleviate the amount of good clothing that goes to waste after only a few wears. Join our fair in the Atrium to browse a range of vintage goods and upgrade your wardrobe sustainably!

Find out more about the Vintage Clothing Fair.

Running alongside our Vintage Fair, drop by local business owner stalls to learn about their unique, sustainable, products and make a range of goodies from old materials and waste.

You can also join our Student’s Union to create Bumble Bee Seed Balls and, while you’re crafting, we’ll be discussing easy ways students can get involved in supporting the local bee population thrive!

All materials and supplies for the workshops will be provided. No need to book, just come and craft!

Head to our pop-up kitchen to learn how to use your old veggies and turn them into perfectly tasty soup! Held in the Atrium - between 11:00am and 3:00pm - you can ask all your burning questions and sample some soup at the end. Not to be missed.

No need to book, just pop along.

Please email events@stir.ac.uk with any questions.

Join the Enterprise Programme and Scotland’s International Environment Centre (SIEC) for a conversation with industry experts, including our friends from Zero Waste Scotland and like-minded students to learn about how can you, or your business move beyond the basics of sustainability and drive meaningful change.

This session is open to students, staff and recent alumni.
