Don’t miss next month’s NUS Liberation Conference

Friday 24-03-2023 - 15:44

Are you passionate about student representation? 

Want to be involved in national decisions and campaigns about liberation and student rights? Driven to make change and network with like-minded students? 

Then you should apply to be a delegate at the upcoming NUS Liberation Conference in April.

 

What is the conference about?

The conference will bring together BAME, Disabled, LGBT+, Trans, and Women Students to build communities of activists and plan campaigns around issues such as: 

  • the cost of living, 
  • trans rights, 
  • our fight for a liberated society. 

You can also share your ideas for what issues NUS should be vocal about and visible on behalf of students.

 

If I attend, what's my role?

As a conference attendee, you'll have the chance to meet changemakers across the wider student movement, grow your network, and have a say on policies and campaign focuses for underrepresented students from the groups you're attending on behalf of.

 

The conference is just the start of something bigger.

By attending and participating in the conversation, you'll come away with the network and skills to continue shaping, growing, and delivering student liberation campaigns now and in the future.

 

When and where is it?

Monday 17th April & Tuesday 18th April 

Winter Gardens Blackpool, Blackpool

(with possible travel on the evening of Sunday 16th April)

 

Who is it for?

If you're a current NTU student and self-identify as one or more of the following groups:

  • BAME (Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic)
  • Woman
  • LGBTQ+
