Collective Stand Up: Postgrad and Mature Student

About the event

A Collective Stand Up is a structured, empowering space for students to explore shared experiences, identify change they want to see, and begin shaping proposals for Student Forum. It’s not a social event — but it’s also not a debate. It’s a peer-led space for reflection, truth-telling, and action-planning. This Stand Up is specifically for Postgrad and Mature Students.

What is the key accessibility information?

• Noise: Expect general conversation and discussion, but we’ll keep the atmosphere calm and respectful.

• Crowds: Attendance is usually 10–20 students; the space won’t exceed 25.

• Space layout: Seating will be open plan and flexible — no tight corners.

• Physical access: Check if there are any steps into or around the venue; we will always ensure wheelchair access where possible.

• Toilets: Disabled toilet access will be confirmed for the venue, and staff can direct you to the nearest facilities.

• Quiet space: The SU Office is the designated nearby quiet space available to you if you need a break.

• If you have a problem: Speak to SU staff on hand at the event — they’ll be happy to support you.
