What can you expect?
The anti-racism office is the third pillar of the equality project. Therefore, you will work together with the other anti-racism office, the two equality project officers and a team of other volunteers. You will be able to make many contacts and gain experience in project and time management. You will have many opportunities to implement your own projects and ideas and gain a good insight into university politics.
The equal opportunities project is accountable to the student parliament. This means that you have to be present at the monthly meetings of the student parliament and report on your work and answer questions.
For your voluntary work, you will receive an expense allowance and a workplace in the AStA’s offices.
