“We built these universities from tents. And from tents, with the support of our friends, we will rebuild them once again.”
Unified Call from Palestinian academics and administrators of Gaza Universities, 29 April 2024

Join us to hear first-hand from Palestinian academics and campaigners about how Palestinian Higher Education institutions are resisting erasure through the collective work of the Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza and their respective efforts to continue teaching and learning, despite the physical destruction of university campuses by relentless Israeli attacks. 

We will discuss how transnational solidarity can promote the resilience and rehabilitation of Gaza’s education sector in partnership with UK universities and discuss the role of boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns in confronting UK Higher Education complicity in scholasticide.

This event is part of a national speaking tour organised by University and College Workers for Palestine and BRICUP with support from UCU and is hosted by the UCL UCU branch.

*HYBRID – Zoom link will be shared on the day of the event.
