Amnesty International Student Group Nijmegen
With an enthusiastic group of about 20 members, the group works to promote human rights worldwide and raise awareness of human rights among students. They do this by organising all kinds of activities, such as film nights, debates and benefit concerts. Moreover, you can find them every month with a stand at the HAN and the University and at all kinds of festivals and markets. There is also a writing night every third Tuesday of the month where they write letters for prisoners. Everyone is invited to join, you don't have to be a member of the student group to do so.

Green+
Green+ is an initiative for student representation at the uu77 with a focus on sustainability. Because after all, what is the use in getting an education on a planet that has no future? Our other core values are Inclusivity, Animal Ethics, and Social Safety. We advise the Executive Board based on these values.

Plant-Based Universities Campaign
Plant-Based Universities began in late 2021, calling on universities to transition to 100% just and sustainable plant-based catering to tackle the climate and nature crises. Since its inception, this student-led campaign has achieved landmark votes for fully plant-based transitions at 15 universities internationally, including the Universities of Cambridge and UCL. We currently have active campaigns in over 60 universities all across Europe, run by student teams on their campuses, and expect to continue growing.
