Abstract:
The Student Association for Global Development Studies (Kehitystutkimuksen opiskelijat/Keho ry) organizes and moderates an activist forum with participants from the Students for Palestine movement in Finland. Participants from the movement will touch upon topics such as student activism and motivations and objectives in activism. The movement’s on-going activism, in the form of demonstrations, petitions and encampment in campuses, has been connecting local students to global crises and decolonial struggles, as well as highlighting the relation between students and universities.

This working group does not require a paper submission.
