Manchester Metropolitan University

The History, Politics and Philosophy Department at Manchester Metropolitan University runs an exciting Society&Change Saturday Club that enables Club members to explore a range of important issues that affect society and how we live, both in the past and in the present day.

Through the broad topic of Human Rights, Club members will be immersed in topics such as race and racism, crime and punishment, human migration, gender inequality and disability rights. The sessions will be run by our two brilliant Club tutors, who are friendly, knowledgeable, and fun!

Sessions will include trips to local museums (Manchester Jewish Museum and People’s History Museum), visits from guest speakers, and a Masterclass from the Mines Advisory Group (to find out more about this Saturday Club’s 2022-23 Masterclass with Mines Advisory Group click here). Club members also take part in national events including the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free!

So, if you are interested in tackling the ‘big issues’ in the world and being a change maker yourself, then this is the right club for you! You’ll have a chance to develop new skills, to share your ideas and to make new friends!

Applications for this Club are now closed. You can complete the application form to join the waiting list.

Club dates:
27 January 2024 - 15 June 2024
Saturdays, 10:30 - 13:30

“I learnt to speak out loud and ask more questions, and how to research and different ways of thinking”

“I learnt loads about what my Human Rights are and about Philosophy, which was something that previously I knew nothing about!”
