De film neemt je mee naar Senegal en laat je kennis maken met vrouwen die coöperaties oprichten en jongeren die bomen planten in de mangroves en innovatieve irrigatiesystemen ontwikkelen.

Nabespreking met Roel Nollet, Manon Cools, Evy Coeckelbergs en Fousseyni Touré.

Hi everyone! We’re Sara and Daniel, Master’s students at the Institute of Development Policy (IOB), and we’ll be taking over this account for the next few days 📸

We’re currently taking part in a 3-day seminar organized by USOS, bringing together 34 students who are preparing for international fieldwork and immersion as part of their studies in India, Morocco, Suriname, and Brazil 🌍

Stay tuned for moments, reflections, and behind-the-scenes from the seminar!

🚨 Our final Debating Development session of the year is titled "From Global Anticolonial Struggles to Student Encampments Today"

🎓 Around the world, campuses have become contested spaces where student dissent is increasingly met with surveillance, repression and claims of “neutrality”. This closing session explores how today’s student protests connect to broader struggles against imperialism, racial capitalism and authoritarianism.

📅 On Tuesday 2 December (18.30–20.30, Stadscampus R.002 Antwerp), we bring together:

🔅 Vijay Prashad (Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research)
🔅 Gert Van Hecken (UAntwerpen – Debating Development coordinator)
🔅 Charlotte Duivis (UAntwerpforPalestine / COMAC)

📍 Free entrance, registration required.

✨ This Saturday, during the 40th anniversary of USOS, we will present the Koen De Feyter Solidarity Fund.

In times of conflict, this fund supports students at our partner universities in Palestine 🇵🇸 and DR Congo 🇨🇩, helping them continue their studies despite war, insecurity, or financial hardship.

Named in honour of Professor Koen De Feyter (1960–2024), the fund carries forward his lifelong commitment to justice and global academic solidarity.

🤝 Together, we strengthen access to education.
