Theme: “Displaced but Not Forgotten: Solidarity, Systems, and Social Justice”
📅 Saturday 29th November | 🕙 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM | 📍 University of Warwick, FAB
Join us for Warwick STAR’s annual Charity Summit: a day dedicated to exploring refugee rights, asylum law, and social justice through inspiring talks, storytelling, and interactive sessions.
This year’s summit brings together leading voices in refugee advocacy, international development, and grassroot action. Hear from High Commissioner Kanbar Hossein-Bor, CEO of Migrant Network Fizza Qureshi and an esteemed panel of barrister and lawyers specialised in refugee and asylum law, alongside activists, academics, and student journalists.
Through keynotes, panel discussions, and workshops, you’ll gain insight into the realities of displacement, the policies shaping asylum today, and how students can take meaningful action. During our networking and volunteering fair, connect with NGOs, charities, and public-sector organisations making a real difference.
Whether you’re passionate about human rights, policy, or community engagement, the Warwick STAR Charity Summit offers a space to learn, reflect, and act, together.
