What is a ‘big challenge’?
Big challenges might be big for only person or they might affect many people. They could be challenges for students or for students’ friends, parents or grandparents. How is the energy crisis affecting your local community?
Challenges might focus around town planning, the NHS or education. Whatever they are, they should be something you care about, something you would like to discuss and something that we in St Andrews can contribute to in some way.
What challenges might climate change pose for your family in the future?
What about Brexit or Scottish Independence?

The steps taken on this journey will be as unique as the challenges you identify.
