Date Passed: 18th February
Speaker: Vy Quoc Tran
1. Students and Societies Network have limited access to OneZone, Core 24 and ECC building (where they have an outstanding area and space that can support a big event); and we have to pay an amount that requires a huge budget in order to have the right to use the space.
2. Within Frenchay Campus, there are no facilities, equipment or rooms which can provide space for Art/Musical/Culture events of more than 200 persons. . In many universities, they have a mini Theatre with good equipment (PA System, lighting system, stage and scene) that can provide space and seating for more than 200 persons.
1. Students, societies and networks need more facilities to be provided by the university in order to support the development of student communities on campus.
2. Societies and networks, especially international students, have the right to experience their student life better; through many different Events, Art Show, Musical Performance and Culture Exchange.
3. The University must support all Activities/Events which the Student Union, Societies, Networks and Students organize in order to serve the common benefit and to bring student experience to all students.
4. The lack of facilities, space and common halls for big events will de-motivate students, societies and network from contributing their ideas, their effort and their passion from making outstanding events. It will lead to the negative effect on the image of the university and Student Union.
5. A University Theatre facility will encourage students to create and perform more Art/Musical events, which will greatly improve student life and the University’s image and reputation.
1. That in the case that a Society Network’s event plan (art/culture events) has been approved by the Student Union,
2. the Executive lobby the university to grant free access (or cover the renting fee) to the ECC, Core 24, OneZone and
3. Similar areas on all campuses.
4. That the Executive lobby the university to re-design and re-structure a room with a greater than 200 capacity into a multi-purpose room, which can be used as a lecture room or as an art/musical performance room (with stage, scene, PA system and lighting system).The executive lobby the university to create a plan to construct a University Theatre into the UWE campus Masterplan.
5. To simplify the documents related to booking.
6. To offer free replacement rooms/halls in cases booked rooms/ halls of not satisfying the requirements of events or meetings.
7. All students should be offered full facilities (aside from basic equipment that they usually have from the universities) which encourage them to organise events about the culture and traditional events in their country.
