Swansea 15 Minute Campus INPSIRE Intern 2022

As part of the university’s commitment to sustainability, they continually work to embed sustainability as a core aspect of the University’s framework across curriculum, community, culture and campus, aligning the University’s work to The Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. They do this partly through the INSPIRE Project; Institute of Sustainable Practice, Innovation, and Resource Effectiveness.

 

Why is this important to me?

My role is to work as an INSPIRE intern, and carry out a 1 year internship to focus on a specific area of sustainability on the Swansea campus. My role is to explore the possibility of adopting and implementing the 15 Minute Campus Initiative. This will help connect students to local businesses and greenery whilst offering direct routes to different buildings on the Swansea Campus. The initiative aims to reduce the impact of the air pollution created by the university, as well as hopefully improving the wellbeing of students.

In order to implement the initiative successfully, we have put together this survey about how student’s travel to university and between the Swansea buildings. Your answers will help us to work out the extent of the university’s contribution to air pollution in Swansea and how we as a community can improve.
