The Students’ Union of University of Sussex organised “Sussex Live” an event of Art, Music and Culture on Friday evening at 7.30pm. This was one of the activities of Refreshers’ Fair and I attended this in the Corn Exchange auditorium in Brighton. The seating capacity of this auditorium is around 300. The entry tickets were available online as well as in the office of the Students’ Union for £ 12 to £ 13.
The programme was for two hours and the auditorium was full. The main objective of this programme is to introduce Sports Clubs and Societies through this entertainment activity. There are nearly 30 Sports Clubs and 150 Societies in the University of Sussex. The programme was stretched for two hours through dance, monologue, singing, playing band of Sussex and showing video recording of the participation of students of Sussex and Brighton Universities in the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in 2009. All those who staged the programmes did well.
Dr. Gaonkar, who do these 150 societies represent? Are these professional associations or something? Is their aim the promotion of sports, cultural activities, academics or a combination of these. Does the Uiversity send their students to lobby for a certain polich such Copenhagen Climate Change Conference?
ReplyDeleteDr. Travassos,
ReplyDeleteThe 150 societies are under categories like,Academic, Art & Performance, Community action, Cultural Identity, Social action, Specialised interest, Spiritual & Religion. These are represented by senior undergraduate/ postgraduate/ research students. These are not professional associations. The University expects students to get involved in volunteering and activities of societies and clubs to develop their skills. The environmental clubs of Brighton and Sussex Universities decided to attend conference.
