Resources to help you on your Nature Positive mission!
Our Student Ambassador Team are very happy to share with you resources to help you on your Nature Positive mission. To start with this includes a Welcome Pack, social media frame and some of the resources from the first workshop.
During the course of the programme, we will share more resources with you and add them to this page, including Toolkits of campus-based actions and the workshop presentation slides, recordings and quizzes. You will also find social media resources and other information to inspire action for biodiversity on your campus and within your community, wherever you are.
Welcome to the Student Ambassador programme!
We’re excited to have you on board and we would like to share with you resources to support you during the programme. The first thing to do is download or read our Welcome Pack – this is an introduction to the Student Ambassador Programme, providing general information about your role as an ambassador and about the Nature Positive Universities (NPU) initiative.

Workshop 1: Nature Positive (28th November 2025)
The first workshop in the programme took place on Friday 28th November from 12pm – 1:30pm GMT and was an opportunity to meet the Ambassadors team, learn more about NPU and the Ambassador programme for 2025/26. We also had breakout groups, which was a chance to get to know other Student Ambassadors.
The workshops in this series will then commence again in January 2026 and continue monthly through until May 2026. We understand that not everyone will be able to join us for every workshop due to the timings – the workshops in our programme will take place across a range of times to accommodate different time zones. Recordings will be made available to watch back in case you are unable to attend the workshops.
Zoom automated translated captions are also enabled for our workshops. More information about viewing these captions within Zoom meetings and a list of supported languages for automated captioning in Zoom can be viewed here. As part of the programme this year, we will be having live simultaneous translation of our Zoom workshops into French and Spanish.
Workshop recording
This workshop was delivered in English with live simultaneous translation into French and Spanish. The French and Spanish audio is now available to listen to on the YouTube recording above.

Workshop quiz
To accompany each of the workshops, we ask that you complete a short quiz to share your learnings from the workshop with us and also any feedback or suggestions you might have. Please complete these quizzes as soon as you can after attending or watching back the workshops.
The quiz for Workshop 1 contains 10 questions.
Toolkit
This Toolkit contains information about the specific topics covered in Workshop 1 as well as some suggested actions.
Activity form
The activity form gives you the chance to share your activities with us, whether they are ideas, planned activities, ongoing activities or those that have already taken place.
This form will be open throughout the year and can be completed as many times as you like.

Here is some suggested text that you might want to use in your post (but of course feel free to add your own thoughts):
“I am excited to announce that I’ve been selected as a Student Ambassador with Nature Positive Universities! This programme empowers students from higher education institutions with the practical knowledge to tackle activities driving the loss of biodiversity in their university and campus and I’m thrilled to join this inspiring network. #generationrestoration #naturepositive”
Celebrate International Days
International Days can be a great opportunity to highlight some of your recent actions or raise awareness on a particular issue. One of our Ambassadors, Favour Ochuwa from University of Benin Nigeria has developed a range of social media cards for you to use to celebrate days relevant to our programme.
Feel free to use these, and add your own photos, words, and stories to your posts on social media to encourage others to take action on the issue.
