Israel's brutal attack on Gaza killed over 1300 people and left thousands more seriously injured. Today Israel continues its inhumane blockade, preventing aid from reaching Palestinians in desperate need.
Across Britain over 30 universities have organised occupations in response, with many winning scholarships for Palestinian students, pledges from universities to send academic resources to Gaza and commitments to divest in arms companies.
PSC is organising this dayschool to bring students together to discuss our experiences, including of the university occupations, and to plan future campaigns. The dayschool will include high-profile speakers, reports from the occupations, and practical workshops on organising campaigns on your campus.
Speakers include:
- Ken Livingstone
- Speaker from the Viva Palestina Convoy
- Sameh Habeeb, photojournalist from Gaza
- British Muslim Initiative speaker
- Jeremy Corbyn MP
- Betty Hunter, Palestine Solidarity Campaign
- Khaled AlMudallal, Let Palestinians Study Campaign
