Student Initiatives

There are a range of student initiatives that are organised each year. They help to broaden students' experiences and skills, and bring the Essex Human Rights community together while being great fun.

 

 

• Essex Human Rights Societies - there are several societies related to human rights on campus including Amnesty International, Student Action for Refugees, the Human Rights Society, MUNEX, and the Debating Society. You can find more on all the student societies run at Essex Students Union here.

 

• An Undergraduate Forum and a Postgraduate Forum are run by human rights students to organise film screenings, talks, trips and other events.
