STAR is the national network of student groups working to improve the lives of refugees in the UK by: 1. Promoting positive images of refugees. 2. Volunteering for local refugee projects. 3. Campaigning for refugees. STAR groups are independently constituted student union societies, based at universities all over the UK. These groups affiliate to the national STAR network, which is co-ordinated and financed by the STAR national charity.
We use film to promote positive images of refugees e.g. our groups might hold a film night on campus followed by a discussion on the issues raised. We also use these events to raise funds for our work.
