Many ways to get active!
The Association of Foreign Affairs in Uppsala has 8 working groups
Our operations are divided in 8 groups that specialize in different activities.
Members are always welcome to attend events, activities and all content produced from all eight groups. All of these are planned by the heads of each working group (which are also board members in UF Uppsala). If participating in events is not sufficient and you want to get more engagerd and gain lots of professional experience, then you might consider becoming a trustee.
A bit cofusing? Don’t worry, we explain everything in detail down below!
We are always looking for people that want to get involved
