LondonMet Palestinian Society

About Us

The history of the Palestinian peoples struggle for freedom, equality, and justice is a profound and complex one spanning over one hundred years of recent history. It has become a major issue of both conflict and debate within the international political community;  organisations and individuals campaigning for human rights; solidarity movements; and, more importantly for people living within or closely connected to East Asia (the Middle East) itself.
 
The Palestinian Society at London Metropolitan University seeks not only to raise awareness of the complex and diverse issues affecting the Palestinian Diaspora but also to celebrate and promote Palestinian culture and history, as well providing educational programmes and a platform for both political and cultural debate.
 
Throughout the year we aim to give focus to various topics which we believe are highly relevant with regards to the Palestinian people. These will include: Human rights; refugees and migration; conflict and resolution; historical viewpoints and contemporary developments; cultural expression; international relations; racism and segregation; resistance movements.
 
If Palestine is something you have always wanted to know more about, or something you feel passionate about, come and join us and challenge your pre-conceived idea’s, established views, perceptions and understanding of all things relating to the Palestinian people and Palestine. Everybody is welcome.
 

Services

What benefits and opportunities will you provide to members of your Society?
 
Within the university itself we will be hosting lectures and debates, presentations and film screenings, discussions and workshops. We will also be inviting guest speakers and artists from across the world to visit the university and share their experience, knowledge and opinions on related topics.
 
Members of the society will also benefit from an extended network of Palestinian student societies within the London & the UK and organisations across the world also putting on events at home and abroad, including film showings, talks, live music and other cultural events. We aim to provide society members the opportunity to build links with individuals and organisations working within Palestine itself.
 
Furthermore students interested in actively getting involved with positive action regarding various Palestinian related issues, including fundraising for specific projects; political lobbying; and awareness campaigns; may find this society the perfect place to start. Active members will have the opportunity to gain and enhance their organizational, creative, and networking skills through partaking in various activities organized by the society.
