Just in case you missed out on our annual conference, we've collected three threads to show you what some of our incredible panellists and students spoke about at #STARCONF2020
As we close the conference we could not be prouder of all of the STAR groups across the UK, no matter how big, small, new or old you are. We are constantly inspired by you all! Well done!! #STARCONF2020
Glasgow echoes that by saying "don't be afraid to give anyone a message and really collaborate with other societies" adding that things will get easier! #STARCONF2020
Sussex chooses to highlight the dedication of their members, shown in their most recent fundraiser 'Run for Refugees' with the committee and members running a total 358 miles and Β£580! #starconf2020
I've spent a decade as a student organiser, and I never feel more proud than hearing students share their passion and their wins.
Even if it's something as big and amorphous as the #HostileEnvironment, it's possible for youth-led change to make a difference. #STARConf2020
Today we are coming to the end of our #STARCONF2020 with an inspiring panel of STAR committee members from Birmingham, Sussex, Glasgow and Northampton. π
@StarNorthampton have spoken about how online media coverage, including radio shows, have been really helpful in gaining more support for their volunteering projects and raising awareness for their campaigns. #starconf2020
@STARGlasgow are encouraging other STARs to reach out to their MP, mentioning that their MP @GradySNP has been an incredible help in their campaigns. #STARCONF2020

Great workshop from @hopenothate just now at the #starconf2020 on how to have those difficult conversations and win people over. A vital skill if we want to make real change!
A huge thank you to @ShroukELA and @Jon_Cornejo for taking the time to join us today and for speaking about your thoughts and experiences today. #STARCONF2020
Diversity is not just a front facing change, but also has to change in the background and the internal workings of an organisation. #STARCONF2020
On avoiding white saviourism in STAR groups: @ShroukELA says reflecting on the voices in the room is important, are all voices and experiences represented? @Jon_Cornejo also suggests critically reflecting on the power balance within groups. #STARCONF2020
@Jon_Cornejo asks white people to educate themselves on their own internal micro-aggressions and biases. @ShroukELA adds that distinguishing between a person that is genuinely hateful, and someone who is well meaning is important. #STARCONF2020
@ShroukELA echoes that and says that while STAR isn't perfect, Shrouk's own experience as a trustee, with the equal access campaign and as a STAR member has empowered them. #starconf2020
We are now joined by @Jon_Cornejo and @ShroukELA to have a conversation about race in the refugee sector. #STARCONF2020
A huge thank you to all of our incredible panellists for inspiring and informing our students @alexander_betts @lornakgledhill @sabir_zazai and a special thanks to the chair of the panel Taya (from Cardiff STAR) for facilitating such a brilliant discussion! #STARCONF2020
@alexander_betts reminds us we can make a difference, but to remember polarisation is the enemy of success. We must try to build as many bridges as we can and have these important conversations. #STARCONF2020
@alexander_betts shares Lorna's caution but agrees that things are up for grabs. The myth that we're stuck with the status quo is well and truly gone. If there is a political will the government has shown it can respond. #STARCONF2020
We have now asked panellists what they're looking forward to in 2021. @sabir_zazai starts with his hope for reimagining and changing our society following the pandemic. #STARCONF2020
"Integration happens when both the arriving person and the society giving protection fully discharge their responsibilities." @sabir_zazai the burden of integration is often put on the person arriving, yet there are still many rights not afforded to people arriving #STARCONF2020
