New for 2024, CommitteeQuest aims to help committees form connections and begin working together as a cohesive and successful team. We’ll be asking you to engage in committee team building exercises, a workshop session around values and (the best bit!) sending you out on a treasure hunt around Bristol!
Taking place the week after final exams (usually the first week of June), we'll send committee members full details of how to book and what sessions are running
When is it?
CommitteeQuest will run from Monday 3 – Wednesday 5 June 2024 in the Bristol SU Living Room and we are asking committees to book on to one of these days only.
What is the programme?
Each session will run between 10am and 2pm, helping committee members get to know each other and form good working relationships. You’ll be taking part in:
- Icebreaker games and team building exercises. Connect with fellow committee members through fun activities designed to foster collaboration and camaraderie.
- A Treasure Hunt. Head out into Bristol for a fun Treasure Hunt that will help your team develop communication skills and problem solving.
- Facilitating Planning and Values Workshop. A thought-provoking exercise to build a shared understanding between committee members, helping you understand yourself and each other so that that you can work together effectively over the academic year.
How do I book?
One committee member should book a ticket for their group. By booking, you are confirming that the group committee is available and will all attend.
Please do not book unless you are certain of attendance as tickets are limited.
Tickets are available on a first-come basis, and you must inform us if you are no longer able to attend.
Committee Fest
Designed to empower and inform, Committee Fest is Bristol SU's annual training conference for new and returning committee members. Hosted virtually, our sessions will prepare you to lead successful student groups and develop your skills.
All recordings and resources from this year's Committee Fest can be found here
When is it?
Committee Fest training sessions will run from Monday 10 – Friday 14 June 2024.
What is the programme?
We’re pleased to have on offer 24 individual training sessions over the week, more than we’ve ever done in previous years! Trainers will be a mix of Bristol SU Staff experts, University colleagues and the Bristol SU Development Team. We will also be operating morning drop-in sessions for any quick questions you may have for the Development Team.

Bristol SU Learning Space
Finding time to attend training sessions isn't always easy so we have produced some short e-learning modules that can be completed in your own time, along with some longer courses for those who really want to get to know their role.
The Learning Space is also where you will complete essential training modules for reaffiliation
New sessions and live recordings of group training will be added throughout the year so do keep checking back!
