You’ll also have the chance to take part in some skills-based workshops, affect tangible, measurable difference to the world around you via activism and campaigning, and learn a range of techniques to help make your campaign stand out from the crowd.

Cerian Jenkins is a grassroots campaigner and activist who founded the national Gender Equality Network, and last year ran the international #ISeeTara Campaign, which saw over 160,000 members of the public, press, and political landscape signing a petition to move a transwoman from an all-male prison to a safer location. She’s also behind the current #NotACompliment campaign to have hate crime legislation extended to cover gendered harassment. She’s a current MSc student here at LSE.

LSESU Beyond the Classroom is an employability training programme designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop, learn and grow.

The programme offers a series of free, skills-based workshops on topics such as Managing Conflict; Public Speaking; Sponsorship; Campaigns; Event Management; and Social Media. Last year the programme received an 88% satisfaction rate from attendees and we put on a number of brand new sessions such as First Aid; Sign Language; and Coding. Sessions have been delivered by leading charities and companies, such as EY, the ONE Campaign, Teach First, and experienced advisers from LSE Careers and LSE Students’ Union.
