The NUS Black Students' Conference provides an excellent opportunity for African, Arab, Asian and Caribbean students to come together and learn about the NUS Black Students’ Campaign and its many successful initiatives. It also the opportunity to allow all Black students to engage in debates on contemporary issues, to network and share information, and to hold the leadership to account for the work we have done.
This Conference will also set the policy which determines the work of the Campaign in the year ahead, and elect the next NUS Black Students’ Officer and Committee.
Who can attend?
If you want to attend the Conference, go to your students’ union and tell them you want to attend on behalf of your college or university. Your students' union will cover the cost of your travel, meals and accommodation. Remember you don't have to be a students’ union officer to attend. Any African, Asian, Arab or Caribbean student can come.
Every college and university can send as many people as it likes. One person can attend as the delegate for FREE. Delegates can vote and speak in debates at the conference. Everyone else will have to come as an observer (observers cannot vote but they can speak in debates at the conference) and will have to be paid for by your students’ union. The charge is £70 per observer from a further education college and £150 per observer from a university.
