Events

Liberation Conference (LibCon) is a student-run and student-led conference dedicated to empowering student campaigners, encouraging political engagement and, strategizing for the future, taking place on March 20–21st at the Oculus and FAB on campus. This year’s theme, “Forging Solidarity,” focuses on what it means to stand in solidarity with people, movements and causes, exploring ways solidarity can extend beyond traditional activism. As the first national conference of its kind, LibCon creates a space for students and academics passionate about liberatory praxis to convene and co-create entirely on students’ terms. The conference is organised around three main streams which are political education, culture and practical skills, these streams are the main foundation for our workshops and events. This year’s LibCon will feature workshops and panels in collaboration with our Liberation Societies, Warwick academics, alumni who are now activists and campaigners, external organisations executed by our student-staff team, the Decolonise Collective. It is a space to know about how and why it’s important to be involved with activism as students and this conference is the perfect space to do so.
