Don't Hate... is a project created by the University of Gloucestershire and their Students' Union. Get involved by joining our Facebook page and looking out for events that are happening in the coming months.

What is PREVENT?

The Don't Hate Campaign is a joint campaign led by both the University of Gloucestershire Students' Union and the University's Student Services Department, and is aiming through a mixture of effective marketing, high profile events and debates to invite all students, staff and wider local communities within Gloucestershire to challenge their ideas and principles around issues of diversity, difference and vulnerability. Over the course of the year the campaign hopes to focus on various diversity-related topics such as race, faith, sexuality, sexual orientation, and asylum; as well as focusing on wider ideals such as freedom, human rights and international development.

Want to get involved?

We are urgently looking for all students in the county to volunteer to help support and lead the campaign, so if you have an interest in the work of the campaign and think you could help in any way we want to hear from you. To start your involvement in the Don't Hate Campaign – just e-mail us at donthate@glos.ac.uk and we will respond with how you can get started.

Further information

The campaign is funded through the University of Gloucestershire and the campaign supports some of the aims of the Government’s Prevent agenda.

This is outlined as follows:

In a university context the delivery of Prevent should include:

• Encouraging free and open debate to promote and reinforce shared values
• Listening to and supporting diverse voices
• Breaking down segregation amongst different student groups by supporting inter-faith and inter-cultural activities that encourage dialogue
• Encouraging all students to play a full and active role within wider society
• Ensuring student safety and campuses that are free from bullying, harassment and intimidation
• Providing support to students who may be at risk or vulnerable, and provide appropriate sources of advice and guidance.

The University is represented on Gloucestershire’s NI35/Prevent Delivery Group, and is committed to sharing this agenda with the student community.

For further information on the Prevent agenda, please refer to the guidance below issued by the National Union of Students (NUS.)
