Why did you join UF?
The lectures introduced me to the association giving an opportunity to learn more and listen to amazing speakers. Then I noticed the activities, opening up a platform to meet people with the same interest in international relations and foreign affairs. The association gives an amazing opportunity to mix my passion and field of study with chill interactions and fun events with fellow students outside of the programme-bubble.

What does your role entail?
As Head of Activity at UF Uppsala, I am responsible for designing, planning, and executing events of all sizes for the organisation. We focus on creating a place of dialogue, connection, and a shared curiosity for global affairs. Our activities not only provide a meeting place for internationally minded students but also foster meaningful discussion and critical reflection on current global developments. From book clubs and pub quizzes to gasques and game nights, each event is crafted to build a vibrant, inclusive, fun and intellectually engaging community centered on international issues and cultural exchange.
