In this special festive edition of the Membership Services Show, Alan and Livia have insights from the ACUI conference in the United States, innovative approaches like free grab-and-go breakfasts and sip-and-sketch events, and discuss the role of smaller, daytime activities in boosting student participation. They also explore the impact of cost-of-living pressures, the push for bilingual operations, and the differences in student rights frameworks across Europe.

With Aisling Knox, SU President at Mary Immaculate College Limerick, Adam Zeidan, Secretary General of TREY in Tampere, Mack Marshall, Community and Policy Officer at Wonkhe, and presented by Livia Scott, Partnerships Coordinator at Wonkhe and Alan Roberts, Partner at Counterculture.
