STAND
STAND mobilises third-level students to stand up for global justice, equality and sustainability.
We deliver our educational programmes in times of intense polarisation and despair with the state of the world. We believe that these challenges don’t need education that just scratches at the surface and facilitates simplistic solutions.
Third-level students and recent graduates are navigating interconnected local and global challenges, and we know from our participants that there is particular concern about the climate and housing crisis, growing economic inequalities, conflict and migration. The recent rise in anti-immigrant sentiment in Ireland is spreading spread fear throughout our student network, many of whom are immigrants themselves or from diverse minority backgrounds.
