Highlights this Week: OxFID Conference - Oxford Forum for International Development, Creative Solutions to Urgent Problems

Dear Oxford Hub Member,

Apologieas for sending out The Week a little bit later than normal. Like many of you I was at a JCR meeting last night discussing the Gaza crisis. As the crisis and debate continue it is important to remember that there are many opportunities for private, positive action. This can be as simple as making a donation or writing an email. There are many humanitarian groups that you can support, regardless of your own beliefs on the crisis, to help innocent victims of the conflict.

Moving on, it’s second week, and before you’re completely settled down into your work routine, why not pencil in a few charitable events too?

On 7th and 8th February OxFID is hosting its annual International Development Forum and the theme for this year is ‘Creative Solutions to Urgent Problems’. OxFID is the UK’s highest profile student International Development event - open to people with all levels of knowledge it is THE place to go for any students who are interested in development issues. £10 early-bird tickets are still available until midnight tonight, so to save yourself some money buy your tickets now!

This week is once again jam packed with events and opportunities. With a Social Enterprise Fair, 9 talks, 2 opportunities to go abroad, 2 fundraising events and 5 volunteering placements, there should be enough to keep you busy for the rest of this week at least.

Hub love,
Jake

About Gaza

Inhabited since at least the 15th century BCE, Gaza has been dominated by several different peoples and website hosting empires throughout its history. The Philistines made it a part of their pentapolis after the Ancient Egyptians had ruled it for nearly 350 years.

However, by the time the Crusaders invaded the city, it was in ruins.

As a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Egypt administered the newly-formed Gaza Strip territory and several improvements were undertaken in the city.

Hamas took over the city in 2007 after months of clashes with its rival Fatah, and since then Gaza has been under a blockade by Israel.

Awesome Post

I have always wanted to go to Oxford, but my parents just could not afford it. Now I am an expert in signs of cerebral palsy. This has been a really interesting post as it brings back memories of college.
