Course Description:

This module asks you to attempt to change a rule, regulation, norm, or practice of an institution, whether on campus or in the community. You will carry out a campaign on an issue: either one you have chosen yourself, from someone else in the group or as suggested by a community organisation, UEA staff member or experienced activist. In future years, students will be able to continue campaigns that you start this year too.

The whole thing should be a very different experience to other modules. This isn’t about becoming expert on a subject by reading about it, it is about taking an issue you care about and bringing your experience, passion and existing knowledge to do something about it.
