facebook.comWe will be hosting our EGM and Welcome Back Night for the 17/18 academic year on October 4th at 6pm in WW9. We are delighted to announce that we have two First Year Rep positions available on our committee for the coming year. If you are interested in running for one of these positions all you have to do is show up at the EGM and bring your friends to vote for you! You don't have to be studying International Development & Food Policy to run for a position, everyone is welcome to apply! If you can't make it, you can email your application for a specific position to intdev@uccsocieties.ie and we will display this application on the night so you're still in with a chance to be voted onto our committee. There will be a social gathering afterwards in our old haunt The Franciscan Well, where it is rumoured that free pizza may make an appearance... Even if you're not running for a position, we would love for you to meet us/catch up with us at the EGM and the social afterwards!

There has been more than 3,500 attacks on refugees in Germany last year alone, 560 injured and 43 of them children. An alarming indicator of rising xenophobia in Europe 👎🏼
