Inaugural Arts Group Meeting: What’s It All About?

In the lead up to the forthcoming meeting in Lincoln, February 11th-12th, we poked Chair of Arts Group, Kit Friend, for some more details on what to expect and what to come armed with.

Could you tell us a little more about the February meeting in Lincoln?
The February meeting is our first “standard” meeting of 2010. We will use it to discuss progress and activity, issues facing members, and in particular to discuss motions to the NUS Annual conference in April.

What will happen here?
We’ll be planning activities for the next few months, discussing policy proposals, and holding open space technology. There will also be our fabulous evening social activity planned by our events officer, with plenty of opportunity to make the acquaintance of other Arts-concerned officers and reps from around the country.

Key points to be discussed?
Internships & STEM research funding concentration

Who will attend?
Student reps and officers from institutions with creative courses

What are the benefits of attending?

Opportunity to input into policy discussion and activity, learning from experience and practice of others.

What to bring?
Yourselves, positive attitude to change, issues and ideas from your local activities

Aims and outcomes?
To generate policy and progress for creative students, in particular to influence the National Arts Student Summit and NUS annual conference as well as other activities due soon.

Thanks Kit!
