I’m excited to announce the launch of ONE’s first student activist programme here in the UK. ‘SOAR’ (Students & ONE for Africa Rising) is an amazing opportunity for 100 students to be trained in campaigning and advocacy skills, and to run your own campaigns on campus for ONE.

Whether you’re interested in a future career in international development, feel passionate about fighting extreme poverty, or just want to help make a difference, this could be right for you.

We are looking for 100 committed students to take part. If you think you could be one, register your interest in participating in our new student programme, or helping out on ONE’s stall at your Freshers’ Fayre.

SOAR will be launched at a free weekend training and social event on 29th October in London, followed by another session in Leeds. ONE staff and key speakers will lead exclusive sessions ranging from holding meetings with MPs and getting your campaigns into local media to public speaking tips and how best to promote campaigns online.

This programme is a great chance to gain experience in creating and leading campaigns, and be a part of the solution. We hope you’ll join us.

Click here to register your interest in ONE’s new student programme, or to help us promote our programme at your Fresher’s Fayre, and we’ll be in touch shortly

    Hi I am a recent graduate in International Relations and Media Studies BA Hons. I am doing my Masters in International Development at next year but taking a Gap Year right now and would love to get involved in the SOAR project. Is there any way I can help out at a university in Leicester please?

    As I want to pursue a career in International Development and I know I would learn a lot from the project as well as being able to raise awareness about poverty.
    I would very much appreciate it if someone got back to me.

    Kind Regards,
    Pooja

    I am very interested in taking part in this programme.It would not only help me career wise and provide me with many opportunities, but it would also provide me with life skills, essentials to help me develop my knowledge and understanding, as well as confidence and public speaking. Being able to help others suffering around the world, who don’t know what their future holds, or how long they are going to live for, they should not have to suffer in silence.I want to make a difference in this world. My degree course would also be the back bone to my success .

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Sono stanco e sto invecchiando ma anch’io prima di morire sto cercando DI lanciare UN MESSAGGIO al modo, SE UN PAESE VIVE NEL BENESSERE INDIVIDUALE PUÒ AIUTARE GLI ALTRI PAESI. MA SE RISCHIA LA FAME ?….. E dal 2005 sto cercando inutilmente idi avere risposta da governo italiano sulla fattibilità o no , di un progetto finanziario ad Emettere titoli di stato speciali, per sostenere almeno parzialmente la quota del assicurazione previdenziale , per aumentare i salari a x milioni di lavoratori e pensioni e un assegno di mantenimento agli studenti
    Se volete sostenerlo con la Vostra politica , partecipo al concorso del premio Uso in America
    anche per i militari Usa di ritorno dalla guerra. Poetalc luigi.crocco@gmail.com
