I want to start the Afghan Society to create a welcoming space for Afghan students and anyone interested in Afghan culture. Coming to the University this September, I realised there is no Afghan Society that exists, and that the previous one ended in 2023. I hope the society will give students opportunities to connect, share experiences, and celebrate Afghanistan’s rich traditions, from music and food to history and languages.

There are plenty of benefits and opportunities that are provided by the group. These are:

• Community and support: Afghan students can connect with each other, find support, and make friends in a familiar and inclusive environment.

• Social experiences: Members can enjoy cultural celebrations, movie nights, and food events, helping everyone feel part of the community.

• Collaboration and diversity: The society can work with other cultural groups to promote cross-cultural understanding and contribute to a vibrant, diverse campus life.

To round it all up, my end goal with opening the Afghan Society is for it to be a space where students can come together to celebrate culture, make connections, and make lasting memories for the time they are at the University while fostering understanding and inclusivity.
