Deadline extended: IUSY’s Student Working Group 2020

What: Student Working Group
When: 27th-29th April
Where: Online meeting platform, ZOOM
Age: 18-35 years
Size: 25-30 people keeping the balance between the regions
Deadline: 25th April 12:00 am (CET time)

Outline

The current COVID-19 situation has made us realise how much a crisis situation that forces governments to declare a state of emergency can influence student’s lives and rights. The Student Working Group 2020 will bring together young activists of IUSY member organisations from all 7 regions, online. The aim of the meeting is to learn on the implications of crisis situations on basic human rights and students rights and enhance student international solidarity. The meeting will offer a platform to discuss how the situation has affected student life in the regions, give space to engage in a dialogue on common struggles and obstacles, and work together to come up with strategies to defend, advocate and campaign for students rights in crisis situations.

Participant’s profile

Please note that the event must be gender-balanced and therefore the selection criteria will follow this premise in order to ensure such balance. Both the IUSY statues and the Global Project require gender balance.

Participants must be able to attend the entire programme of the seminar and be active throughout the year after the meeting. This is due to that the work of the Working Group will be carried out throughout the year in line with the working plan.
It’s preferable that participants have experience in Students issues and are interested in human rights.

All participants must be aged 18-35 years old, with no exceptions.
