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 membe
