what we do
|
We are an enthusiastic and ambitious student organisation that does it all! Our events and actions range from picketing to fundraising; from large academic events to small discussion nights; from being a small part in a global action to creating actions of our own!
|
write for rights
|
Since the beginning of our establishment we have taken part in Amnesty International’s global action ‘Write for Rights’, which fights to free those unjustly imprisoned, with most being human rights activists, journalists, humanitarian aid workers. As a result, we have had the chance to be a part of an initiative that has freed dozens of unjustly and wrongfully imprisoned.

action-oriented events
|
We organise events where also individuals can make an impactful change. We’ve organised clothing donation events for refugees in refugee camps, taken active part in Women’s March and ‘Let’s talk about Yes’ campaign, and also provide guidance on how people can make more conscious fashion and food choices. These events are oriented towards practical achievements and they are a great way to connect with fellow activists.
|
Amnesty supporters are making the world a fairer place. Because of the actions of individuals, lives have been saved, unfair laws have changed, the wrongfully imprisoned have been released. Your actions make a difference. |
academic events
|
We also have regular symposia, which are educational events through which you expand your knowledge on human rights subjects. These events gain the attraction of many students, but also Professors, Lecturers and other experts, often gathering an audience of more than a 100! In other words, a great way to add onto your knowledge and get in contact with professionals. Symposia topics have ranged from refugee rights to the hidden price of your data, to humanitarian crises.
