The National Student Conference on 19 September will bring together students and young people from across the country. There will be discussions on strategy and tactics, the rise of Islamophobia, Barack Obama, the “war on terror” and much more.
The conference comes in a year which has seen an upsurge in anti-war activity on our campuses, not least following Israel’s barbaric attack on Gaza in January, when occupations of universities and colleges swept the country, many of which were successful in winning scholarships for Palestinian students, commitments of aid and support and agreement for twinning with Palestinian universities.
But Palestine is still occupied. Gaza is still under siege. The occupation of Iraq and the unwinnable war in Afghanistan continue. There is much for students to do on all of these issues. The National Student Conference will enable us to have the discussions and debates which will set our agenda for the coming year.
