INTRODUCTION WHAT IS UEA SU?
Since you’re starting a course here, you’re officially a new member of UEASU. The SU is a charity- any money we make is spent on students. We’re run by students for students. And we’re an independent part of the university- always on students’ side. We’re based in Union House, the big building at the bottom the hill from the bus stops, where we’ve just completed a £6m refurb designed to make the SU the ultimate hub of student life. We’re about students- transforming. That means students learning and developing through opportunities to do things. It means we’re involved in making positive change to your course, your community and your world. And it means a bunch of fantastic benefits and services that you’re now entitled to as a member. Everything you need to know about us can be found at ueastudent.com.

PRIORITY CAMPAIGNS WHAT ARE PRIORITY CAMPAIGNS?
• Every year the Student Officers set a number of campaign priorities based on pressing issues for students. • The campaigns can be designed to create change at a local, national, or even international level. • They are student-run, any student can get involved!
1. COSTS OF LIVING
• We also know that for many students, every day is already a struggle to meet the day-to-day costs of studying. • Costs within the institution are increasing through hidden course costs, accommodation pricing and catering outlets. • The government also recently announced plans to scrap maintenance grants and replace them with a loans-based system – a move which will end non-repayable state support and saddle poorer students with yet more debt. Aim: To increase the amount of ‘money in the pocket’ for students, and to protect grants for poorer students. This will include an affordable housing campaign, a campaign to save the Disabled Students Allowance, and to explore more affordable was to live on campus.
2. NO TO CUTS: THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE
• Austerity isn’t working. It has driven millions into poverty, left hundreds
12 | ueastudent.com
of thousands without work, and removed benefits and welfare from some of the most vulnerable in our society. (and is economically illiterate!) • Young people have been particularly hard hit, with the slashing of housing benefit for the under-25, removal of the Educational Maintenance Allowance, and the decimation of youth support services. This means less young people from poorer backgrounds will make it to university. • The Union is affiliated to the People’s Assembly against Austerity, an organisation that campaigns against the Austerity agenda and for an alternative based upon investment in homes, jobs and young people in order to grow the economy for future generations. Aim: To challenge the dominant narrative of austerity in the UK, and encourage students to get involved in local campaigns in the community. This will include working with community groups to highlight how the most vulnerable have been affected by austerity, in doing so building good
relations with the local community.
3. MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING
• This year has seen a spike in the number of students attempting to access university support services. • University counselling services are tightly squeezed: with waits of up to 6 weeks for students requesting appointments. • Services are likely to be even more stretched as the university continues to expand and increase its student numbers. • Mental Health issues continued to be stigmatised in academic and wider society. Aim: To increase awareness of and improve support services for students with mental health difficulties. Including raising awareness and support within the union, through activities such as stress workshops and peer support groups, with the aim to de-stigmatise and tackle culture of ‘resilience’ within academia through awareness raising and staff training/support.
4. TRANSFORMING EDUCATION
• This campaign is to challenge the institution to ‘rethink’ how it delivers education. • Institutions such as UEA are soon to be squeezed by government legislation aiming to introduce greater competition into the sector. • The likely response is that education
to be increasingly streamlined towards ‘customer satisfaction.’ • We believe the university should be doing more to challenge the consumer’ narrative of education, and be innovative in response to the challenge. Aim: To challenge the marketisation agenda, and offer an alternative, compelling vision of education based upon collaboration and partnership. This includes Liberating/Diversifying the Curriculum, to be more representative of our students, and exploring alternative assessment methods.
5. SAVE OUR UNION
• Last year’s Officer team lobbied the University for an increase in its ‘block grant’ –the money the university gives to the union from as its direct contribution to the student experience from fees. • At present, the block grant given to us by the university is one of the lowest of the UK – only 33p of every pound coming into the union comes from the institution. • Rising costs and the long-term decline in wet trade means that the current funding model is outdated and unsustainable. Aim: Lobby the university to commit to raising the block grant in line with its competitor institutions.

ENTERPRISESU THE SHOP
“Raising awareness among the students body about
important issues linked to international peace and justice, anti racism, ethnic diversity, especially in the case of Palestine, was a big achievement this year. The students population then decided to pass a motion in council and making the principles of human rights, international law and justice in Palestine a SU policy. This was a great achievement that resulted in me being awarded with the NUS Black students award for international peace and justice after only 3 months after being elected as a student officer.

”Culture shock” describes the impact of moving from a familiar culture to one which is unfamiliar. It is an experience described by people who have travelled abroad to work, live or study; it can be felt to a certain extent even when abroad on holiday. It can affect anyone, including international students. It includes the shock of a new environment, meeting lots of new people and learning the ways of a different country. It also includes the shock of being separated from the important people in your life, maybe family, friends, colleagues, teachers: people you would normally talk to at times of uncertainty, people who give you support and guidance. When familiar sights, sounds, smells or tastes are no longer there you can miss them very much. If you are tired and jet-lagged when you arrive small things can be upsetting and out of all proportion to their real significance. The following are some of the elements that contribute to culture shock:
CLIMATE
Many students find that the British climate affects them a lot. You may be used to a much warmer climate, or you may just find the greyness and dampness, especially during the winter months, difficult to get used to.
FOOD
You may find British food strange. It may taste different, or be cooked differently, or it may seem bland or heavy compared to what you are used to. If you are in self-catered accommodation and unused to cooking for yourself, you may find yourself relying on “fast” food instead of your usual diet. Try to find a supplier of familiar food, and eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
LANGUAGE
Constantly listening and speaking in a foreign language is tiring. If English is not your first language, you may find that you miss your familiar language which at home would have been part of your everyday environment. Even if you are a fluent English speaker it is possible that the regional accents you discover when you arrive in the UK will make the language harder to understand. People may also speak quickly and you may feel embarrassed to ask them to repeat what they have said.
DRESS
If you come from a warm climate, you may find it uncomfortable to wear heavy winter clothing. Not all students will find the British style of dress different but, for some, it may seem immodest, unattractive,
ueastudent.com | 17
comical or simply drab.
SOCIAL ROLES
Social behaviours may confuse, surprise or offend you. For example you may find people appear cold and distant or always in a hurry. This may be particularly likely in the centre of large cities. Or you may be surprised to see couples holding hands and kissing in public. You may find the relationships between men and women more formal or less formal than you are used to, as well as differences in same sex social contact and relationships.
‘RULES’ OF BEHAVIOUR
As well as the obvious things that hit you immediately when you arrive, such as sights, sounds, smells and tastes, every culture has unspoken rules which affect the way people treat each other. These may be less obvious but sooner or later you will probably encounter them and once again the effect may be disorientating. For example there will be differences in the ways people decide what is important, how tasks are allocated and how time is observed. The British generally have a reputation for punctuality. In business and academic life keeping to time is important. You should always be on time for lectures, classes, and meetings with academic and administrative staff. If you are going to be late for a meeting do try to let whoever you are meeting know. Social life is a little more complicated.
18 | ueastudent.com
Arranging to meet to see a film at 8pm means arriving at 8pm. But if you are invited to visit someone’s home for dinner at 8pm, you should probably aim to arrive at about ten minutes after eight, but not later than about twenty past. When going to a student party an invitation for 8pm probably means any time from 9.30 onwards! These subtle differences can be difficult to grasp and can contribute to culture shock.
VALUES
Although you may first become aware of cultural differences in your physical environment, e.g. food, dress, behaviour, you may also come to notice that people from other cultures may have very different views of the world from yours. Cultures are built on deeply-embedded sets of values, norms, assumptions and beliefs. It can be surprising and sometimes distressing to find that people do not share some of your most deeply held ideas, as most of us take our core values and beliefs for granted and assume they are universally held. As far as possible, try to suspend judgment until you understand how parts of a culture fit together into a coherent whole. Try to see what people say or do in the context of their own culture’s norms. This will help you to understand how other people see your behaviour, as well as how to understand theirs. When you understand both cultures, you will probably find some aspects of each that you like and others that you don’t.
