Edinburgh University African Caribbean Society

We are the African Caribbean Society, however, our identity is a lot more than that label. We are a community of people who come together to celebrate the many diverse and beautiful cultures that we love and appreciate. Whether that stems from hosting lit events, chilled nights in, spearheading the Black History Month celebrations or more academically-orientated events like (thought-provoking and /or controversial) discussion panels; there is always a plethora of experiences on offer, so EVERYONE feels included. Inclusivity and visibility are our main objectives this year because we believe that the key purpose of a community is to make people feel comfortable, connected and safe. It doesn't matter what shade, colour, nationality, sexuality, gender or religion you are because we already accept YOU regardless. We want to leave a legacy at this institution and make sure that our members are truly SEEN and HEARD in any matters that are relevant to our whole community and individual members. We also want all of our non-African /Caribbean peers to feel welcome at our events and be able to celebrate with us. Our theme for 2019-2020 is: "Return to the Kingdom"! Seeing as our members are Royalty, we saw fit that as we celebrate our diverse origins and achievements, we would think of it almost like a journey of rediscovering and reigniting our love and passion for our African and Caribbean heritage /roots! At university, you will meet people from all over the world; people who have similar life experiences to you and those whose life journey could not be more contrary to your own. This is a key reflection of the real world and at ACS, we aim to provide an environment where these diverse backgrounds can feel at home and celebrated. In addition to this fundamental aim, we use this opportunity to help you meet new people and make some (life-long) friends along the way.
