People of Colour Collective

The People of Colour Collective (previously the Ethno-Cultural Collective) provides support and a safe, autonomous space for students who feel marginalised on the basis of their race, ethnicity or culture.

The collective hosts campaigns and events that not only celebrate our diverse cultures, but also educates the wider UNSW community on racism and ally-ship. 

Aims:

  • Provide help for cultural and linguistic matters. For example, helping first year students to access UNSW’s support services.
  • Advocate for the interests of students to ensure the diversities on our campus are respected. For example, helping students raise matters of discrimination based on nationality, colour, language, ethnic background and or religion with the appropriate authority.
  • Meet other students who have a passion in areas like languages, history and globetrotting!
