- Utilise high-traffic areas of campus in creating “inclusivity corners” where activities can regularly take place and are open to any and all UCL students passing by
- Work on streamlining financial support available for students in accessing societies and events and the expansion of free-of charge union events

- Pressure UCL on rejoining on stonewall and the increase of funds towards supporting the LGBTQI+ Community & Trans Inclusivity
Making educational initiatives more inclusive and removing barriers disadvantaged groups face in both access and more importantly, support is a passion that I have always had and hope to one day turn into a career☺️In Jordan, I worked alongside a regional educational foundation (AHSF) in helping make accessibility, across socioeconomic classes in particular, a key determinant in their decisions. Working on community building through inclusive educational initiatives has shown me the impact of a truly inclusive educational environment and what it takes to get there.
Feeling included amidst everything happening was daunting to me, especially being new to London; it is very easy to feel lost and out of place in a university at the scale of UCL. Moreover, as the “covid generation,” we have not yet recovered from the social and mental impact of covid, which I would hope to address. As a Queer Palestinian raised in a Muslim family, I find myself at crossroads with parts of my identity clashing. At UCL, arts spaces have helped me appreciate my identities wholly. I believe in community building through inclusive arts initiatives that uplift marginalised voices.
