Students told to seize community relations initiative
The University of Ulster is calling on its students to seize opportunities to become active citizens in the communities in which they live.
The community relations initiative, which sees the University of Ulster team with the UU Students' Union and Belfast City Council, is being launched with an event called ‘On Your Doorstep’ which will take place on Wednesday 12 October at the Morton Community Centre, Lisburn Road.
The event is being hosted by the Belfast City Council and will enable students living in the Lisburn road area of South Belfast to take advantage of a range of amenities the community has to offer.
UU Community Relations Officer Christopher Johnston said: “The University of Ulster is working closely with local communities to develop a range of opportunities for students to positively contribute to the communities in which they live.
"‘On Your Doorstep’ represents a fantastic opportunity for all students to avail of the range of amenities the community has to offer and a great platform for students and local residents to interact.”
Last month, a campaign to improve relations between students and residents in south Belfast was re-launched by the University of Ulster and Queen's University.
The initiative, which also ran in February this year, targets students living in south Belfast and is an integral part of a wider strategy to stamp out anti-social behaviour.
Asking the direct question: 'Do you turn into a monster after dark?', Queen's University and the University of Ulster made a direct appeal to young people to respect their neighbours and help create conditions where everyone can live in peace.
