Aims and Objectives

NUS-USI is the representative body of students in Northern Ireland and campaigns on their behalf in many different areas. The NUS-USI community relations programme aims to be a lead authority in the promotion of effective anti-sectarianism initiatives in post-school education provision in Northern Ireland. The programme aims to challenge discriminatory attitudes and practises between students with different political, cultural or religious perspectives.

Projects and Activities

The NUS-USI community relations programme involves action learning workshops, information conferences and political debate. The programme also includes strategic planning events for staff in the post-school education sector, research into community relations issues, an international student exchange programme and the production of a wide range of information materials.
