Student Voice for Change

Student leadership forum participants

Our student leaders and students of refugee backgrounds participated in a leadership forum during Education Week. Working in conjuction with staff and students from the University of Newcastle's Centre for Excellence for Equity in Higher Education, the group discussed and identified the key issues they'd like to see addressed within their local community, including Mental ill health and bullying, homelessness, drug and alcohol misuse and violence.

The next step involves the students preparing short videos to communicate their ideas. These will be showcased at a further student-led symposium at the University of Newcastle on the 22nd October.
