African-Caribbean societies: Are people losing interest? 

1 Mins read

The societies have long been a cornerstone of university life in London, providing cultural connection, support, and community for Black students. But why are these societies fluctuating year by year, and are they still necessary?

To better understand student involvement, Artefact conducted a poll on Instagram to gather data on whether students in London universities are actively participating in African-Carribean societies (ACS). Additionally, we reviewed various university pages to see which institutions currently have a society running.

We spoke to a range of people involved in running societies and the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), to explore whether competing student unions are contributing to the decline of ACS. Their perspective shed light on whether an ACS is still necessary or if student priorities are shifting.
