In 2017, we set up “Policy Pop-Ups” all around campus in the lead up to the election. Each ‘Pop-Up’ covered a key issue young people care about and had fun, informational activities and documents to help students engage with the issues.
Thanks to the fantastic sponsors of our election initiatives, Spark and ANZ, there were loads of prizes to win at each ‘Pop-Up’!
Pop-Up 1: Tertiary Policy
Check out the ‘Voter Guide’ given to pop-up visitors here.
Our first Pop-Up involved participants spinning our Tertiary Policy Wheel of Fortune and guessing which political party has proposed the policy they landed on. If a participant got 3 policy guesses right in a row, they won a $10 Mexican Cafe voucher. Each participant was then given a voter guide to take home with them. Any passer-by who visited could also enter our draw to win a $50 Prezzy card. The winner for our first Pop-Up was Connor McMahon!
Pop-Up 2: Housing Policy
Check out the ‘Voter Guide’ given to pop-up visitors here.
Our second Pop-Up had a ‘Build to Win’ competition requiring the participant to build a play dough house within the Code of Compliance requirements on the lid. If the participant was able to build the house up to scratch in under 1 min, they won a Mexican Cafe Voucher. There was also a grand prize of $50 for our visitor’s draw.
Pop-Up 3: Pitch-A-Policy Pop-Up
At our third Pop-Up, we set up a stall at Grafton campus and invited people to spin our wheel. The participant landed on a number that corresponded with a policy topic. The participant has 30 seconds to pitch a policy solution to the problem they landed on. If they answered the problem satisfactorily, they could put their names in the prize draw. They are also given a lolly and a housing policy voter-guide.
Pop-Up 4: Environmental Policy
A our environment Pop-Up, we hosted two competitions. The first competition involved making origami trees where participants won a voucher. The second competition involved guessing when our iceberg would melt. The most accurate guess won the $50 note frozen inside the ice block. Each passerby and participant got a voter guide on each party’s climate change strategy this election. Click here for the voter guide.
Keep your eyes peeled for more Pop Ups in 2018!
