Knit and natter
Join us as we bring together LGBTQ+ students at the University of East London! We'll be running a session where you can learn to knit or crochet - or work on your own projects if you know what you're doing - while chatting with likeminded people about topics relevant to you. Crafts like knitting and crocheting are a fantastic way to de-stress and explore your creativity, and you could become a pro in no time.
As well as socialising with others, there will be the opportunity to discuss matters relevant to the group and how we can improve things at university, helping to inform our future campaign work. We hope this creative session will help to create a relaxed atmosphere that faciliates open conversations.
This is a casual event and everyone's welcome - we'd love to see you there.
Community groups
We’re restarting our eight community groups for students who identify as - or ally with - people with particular backgrounds.
They are a place for students to create a community of likeminded people, while providing an opportunity to run campaigns and hold events.
The community groups will also help us to communicate students’ experiences and opinions to the University.
A big part of our work is boosting the student voice and campaigning on issues that matter to you. To do that effectively, we need to understand students' viewpoints and experiences. That's where community groups come in!
We are helping to set up the groups in the first instance, with students later leading the groups’ activity.
