Activist Beginnings: Showcase & Workshop
This is a celebration of students' work over the three years that the practical Social Justice, Leadership & Organising modules have been running. Students will deliver workshop activities on community listening and action, presenting on their own activist beginnings and how they've developed this practice at Sussex. Previous students have worked on a range of campaigns with USSU and local organisations - from contributing to Citizens UK’s affordable rents campaign, to campaigning on UN sustainability policy.
This event is an opportunity for staff to consider how to encourage activist beginnings in their teaching, and for students to learn about the relevance of activism to their academic studies.
