ULIP STAR

From the academic year of 2018/19, ULIP has had the immense privilege to partner up  with the UK charity Student Action for Refugees (STAR). This is a charity that works through affiliated groups across the UK and Ireland to support the rights of refugees and asylum seekers as they look to integrate into British society and continue their education. There are 50 universities and colleges involved, with over 40,000 students taking part. ULIP has just become the first group in mainland Europe!

​
STAR helps in all manners of ways: fundraising for good causes, raising awareness in communities of the issues faced by refugees and asylum seekers, helping support individuals as they look to begin or restart their further education and campaigning for needs to be addressed by the government.

For us at ULIP, the year 2018/19 is looking to be very exciting. We have trips planned to informative events and exhibitions to provide education on related issues and fundraising events like getting involved in a nation wide STAR bake off and a pub quiz. Our main aim is to set up some community outreach projects for ULIP students to volunteer at to bridge the gaps so often found in the wider community of Paris. There’s plenty of exciting things coming up so watch this space!
