What is the RED Sustainable Action Award?
The Reading Experience and Development (RED) Sustainable Action Award is one of the University of Reading’s Official Skills Awards. It is an opportunity for those currently studying at the University of Reading to gain awareness of sustainable issues and opportunities.
Linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the award will challenge you to think about the wide-ranging opportunities you can undertake to support the development of a sustainable world.
The RED Sustainable Action Award has been designed to be flexible around your studies, and you can choose when to complete it.
Why do it?
- Make a difference through actions that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals
