The bi-weekly meeting focused on student movements and activism at UBC Vancouver, with particular attention to the discourse on Palestine. The activity included small group discussions, where participants self-divided into groups of three to five ambassadors. These discussions addressed topics such as feelings of hopelessness, ways to stay active within the student movement, taking stances on critical issues, advocating for Palestinian social justice, and understanding how these efforts align with the roles of student ambassadors and university representatives. Additionally, participants responded to anonymously submitted questions, fostering open and candid dialogue. The event provided an opportunity for ambassadors to reflect, share perspectives, and collaborate on meaningful topics.
