Policy workshops
Policy development workshops: Spaces to understand the policy and different perspectives on the issue and possible solutions, which will shape the final policy that will be debates and voted on.
Next steps: Spaces to generate ideas for what actions different parts of the movement could take on the policy issue.
Policy clinic: An opportunity to seek clarification on the published policies before the debate, and bring the understanding between those that attended the policy development workshop and those engaging with the policy for the first time up to a similar level.
Liberation Collective and Reform update: If you haven’t been to a pre-conference briefing or the Liberation Collective policy workshop, this is opportunity to learn more about the proposed reforms and ask any questions you may have.
Agenda items and Workshops on Israel and Palestine
Panel discussion: Centering our humanity: fighting back against antisemitism and Islamophobia on our campuses
Since October 7th there has been an unprecedented rise in antisemitism and Islamophobia across the UK – including verbal and physical abuse. The majority of reported incidents in this period are connected in some way to the violence in Israel and Gaza – often with Jewish people being blamed for actions of the Israeli Government and Muslim people blamed for actions of Hamas. We’ll hear about what it’s been like for Muslims and Jews, what’s been happening in schools, colleges and unis across the UK, and, crucially, what we can do as students’ unions, activists, and leaders to fight back against this destructive hate.
