GSb’s Action is a group of students dedicated to on the ground, real activism. We are engaged in creating ideas to fight for student-related issues. Apart from developing close relationships within the activist community and creating change in Groningen, you will also be involved with the LSVb’s (national student union) actions.

What you can expect:

• Postering
• Bannering
• Protests
• Working times depend on the current campaign
• Weekly or bi-weekly meetings

If you are very passionate about activism and are willing to lead the committee, we are in search of an Action team coordinator. The only requirement is that you must be fluent in Dutch, as this requires a lot of collaboration with the national student union, which conducts weekly meetings in Dutch.

What you can expect:

• 3 hours of fixed working time
• Leading meetings

Are you interested? Send an email to intern@groningerstudentenbond.nl.

Are you unsure about running for faculty council but still want to contribute to the student community? Do you want to be on the pulse of faculty changes and debates? Join the GSb Education Team! As a committee within your student union, you will make many useful connections, paving the way for a more democratic RUG and Hanze! 

Activities include, but are not excluded to:

• Helping create election programs at various faculties (Law, Arts, BSS, FSS)
• Brainstorming how you can address faculty issues within the universities
• Campaigning for GSb candidate factions, and honing your political strategy skills
• Hanging out with other like-minded students!

Participation in the team is on a low commitment and flexible basis!

The Nait Soez’n is the independent opinion magazine of the Groningen Student Union. The editorial team consists of ten members from different corners of the student community, who write an article for the physical editions of the Nait Soez’n twice a year. The editorial team meets sporadically to discuss articles and other matters in an accessible and friendly way. For now, Nait Soez’n is only availably in Dutch. Hopefully in the future we can offer an English translation online! Stay tuned!
