Hicham Yezza is to speak at the University of Nottingham Students’ Union One World Week on Thursday 23rd October. The talk, entitled ‘Human rights post 9/11‘ will take place at 7pm in room C50 in the Portland Building on the main campus.
One World Week, running from 20th to 24th October, is a week of events with environmental, multicultural or human-rights themes. This year the theme is ‘Human Rights, at home and abroad’. It is organised jointly by the Environment & Social Justice and the Equal Opportunities Committees of the Students’ Union. In the past we have had photo exhibitions, interactive stalls and competitions, special forums and visiting international speakers. It’s impossible to avoid, so come along and join in the fun!
The programme of events is available here. If you are interested in running an event, getting involved or just want to know some more then please contact Matt, your Environment and Social Justice Officer at suenvironment@nottingham.ac.uk
