STAR (Student Action for Refugees)

STAR (Student Action for Refugees) is the national network of students building a more understanding and just society where refugees are welcomed and not only survive but thrive in the UK.

Student groups based in colleges and universities and a central team of experts, work together at a number of levels to bring about lasting change. We:

• Volunteer locally working directly with refugees, building understanding and connections
• Campaign nationally for policy change and equal access to higher education for refugees
• Learn about refugee protection and the asylum journey in the UK with experts and peer

At Aston STAR we have collaborated with charitable organisation, working directly with refugees and working together to build a more welcoming city. STAR is very flexible and free, you can do as much or as little a you like. 

Please DM us at @astonuniversity_STAR to get involved and for more information.
