Hi everyone, welcome back to another one of our society interview articles. This time I had the pleasure of interviewing Nuku from Edge Hill’s Multicultural society – I had a great time doing this interview, the society sounds so fun. If this interview interests you, don’t forget to sign up to the society through the SU website, you can also check out their Instagram Page @ehumcs or email them at ehumcs@gmail.com for more information!
- How do you run your meetings and what happens in a typical session in the Multicultural Society? Our sessions can vary from discussions/debates, movie nights, and unique games show styled quiz nights such as The Weakest Link. The sessions are chilled in setting, we have music playing with snacks available to make sure no one is left out and able to socialise.
- Does the society have any membership fees, and if so, how much is it? No, our society is completely free to join.
- What is the main aim of the Multicultural Society? The main aim of the Multicultural Society is to have a safe space where people from diverse backgrounds and walks of life can come together embrace their differences, learn about others and try out things they wouldn’t normally do.
- What is the society’s mission or goal for the year? This year our ‘mission’ is to grow our society even further and to engage in fun and exciting activities in person that we couldn’t do last term.
- What has been your favourite society event so far? The Christmas Party we do annually has been my favourite. Everyone brings food and snacks from their culture and we play games and have a good time together.
- What is one thing that you think someone will need when they join the society? Honestly, yourself. What makes the society so great is that everyone contributes whether it’s their unique personality, music taste, cultural influence – whatever. We don’t want you to hide those sides of you but rather embrace them and show us who you are. (This is such a lovely answer, we need societies like this to help build community!)
- What are you looking forward to with the Multicultural Society this coming academic year? This year I’m looking forward to having a full year in person. I can’t wait to interact with people and deliver the events, activities and trips we have planned this year too. On a personal note, I’m also looking forward to leaving a legacy behind on this society that can impact future members after I graduate.
- What was your inspiration for starting/joining the society? I had a hard time socially start of my first year and didn’t feel I fit in anywhere. So, I joined to meet new people and try something new. I instantly knew this was where I belonged and my Edge Hill experience truly began there. I wanted to give students that same feeling when I became a committee member in second year.
Thanks so much again to Nuku for the interview – make sure to keep an eye on our page and Instagram for more posts like this!
