Booking

You should register on this site and we’ll be in contact with joining instructions.  The cost per attendee is the same as for last year – €465 per person, including accommodation and catering for the event.

What is SUT+?

SUT+ is a major simulation exercise designed to expose you to real issues, challenges and complex situations in a safe, supportive, reflective environment. It’ll take place in August in Belfast.

What should I bring?
  • Comfortable clothes for classroom training and outdoor exercises
  • Outdoor sports gear, probably. We haven’t quite finalised that.
  • If you’re planning to go swimming, swimming clothes. Please.
  • Nightwear, as in ‘pyjamas’, because you’ll be sharing student accommodation with others
  • Any medication you rely on for your wellbeing
  • A can-do, want-to-share attitude
How should I prepare?
  • Find out as much about how your SU works, because it’s useful to know so you can share knowledge with your colleagues from other SUs
  • Do the Political Compass Test.  https://www.politicalcompass.org
  • You don’t need to print it out or anything like that – but it will be brought up by your Ethos Coach and it’s great to compare notes
  • Read the Code of Conduct. It’s in place for this event.
