Israel’s brutal and indiscriminate massacre on Gaza earlier this year outraged an entire generation. Prompting a massive surge in student activism, including a wave of university occupations – we demanded action to support Palestinian students, whose education had been decimated by Israel’s aggression.

As the inhumane blockade on Gaza intensifies depriving Palestinians of the most basic human rights, and as Israel continues to flout international law with the construction of more settlements, displacing many Palestinian families from their homes, our continuing solidarity has never been more urgent.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s Student Conference will be a brilliant opportunity for students from across the country to meet and discuss what can be done to support peace and justice for Palestine.

Themes include:
* Peace and justice for Palestine
* Viva Palestina – Lift the siege of Gaza
* Disband the settlements and the apartheid wall
* Education under occupation
* Leading BDS campaigns
* Building student solidarity with Palestine
