ACTIONS THAT MATTER COMMITTEE
The Actions That Matter committee organises various action-oriented and practical human rights events.
These events are very diverse, thus allowing members a lot of space to be creative and innovative with their ideas. The committee has participated in events like the annual and national Write for Rights campaign, organised protest and demonstration events, and held a clothing and book swap.
ARTS AND CULTURE COMMITTEE
The Arts and Culture Committee is the newest committee in STAI. This Committee aims to make the connection between activism and any form of expression brought up through art and cultural movements. Here, there are no limits, we use all elements of creativity, imagination and critical thinking to deliver social justice.
The Arts and Culture Committee has organised events and initiatives like a book club, human rights movie marathons, a poetry slam against gender based violence, and a fast fashion conscious clothing swap and donation drive. The committee is flexible and members can initiate ideas related to human rights and arts and culture
SYMPOSIUM COMMITTEE
The Symposium committee organises different discussion panels and symposia on human rights topics with very interesting speakers and knowledgeable experts.
These symposia are focused on informing a large audience on pressing human rights issues such as the refugee crisis and the hidden price of your data. Recent Symposium events have been the symposium on female genital mutilation and the discussion on statelessness and the right to a nationality. The committee also organises discussion evenings matters like the constitutional right to protest, and the national Let’s Talk About Yes campaign.
