School of European Languages and Culture Society (SELCS): Welfare Officer

Hey everyone! I am Danilo :) I was on the committee this year and I am running to be your Welfare Officer! Next year I plan to:

1.) Do regular Welfare Checks in the groupchat in order to see how members are doing and to check in on those not doing too well so I can provide support + providing useful links and resources to help members, including promoting the Participation fund in order to help members afford the activities

2.) Apply for the UCL Welfare Fund for the society in order to purchase pronoun badges and disability lanyards in order to help our members

3.) Run Welfare Socials, such as "Biscuit and Chat" drop ins and other fun events, such as Kahoot nights, "Guess the Language" quizzes, movie nights, donut socials, board games sessions, pub socials and more!

4.) Organise collabs with other societies, universities and networks so that our members can make more friends and connections

5.) Organise a Pen-pal scheme so that members can connect with people SELCS countries and improve their language skills

6.) Invite UCL lecturers and external speakers to give talks on both interesting topics and also career opportunities for our members to develop

I have been on the committee of many UCL societies and have led many led many of them and thus I have the experience necessary to lead the SELCS Society and make it as amazing as it can be. Above all, I will always be there for all of our members whether you want a chat or resources or to signpost. I will not let you down!
