Studying in the United Kingdom as a Polish student used to be covered by a tuition fee loan. After Brexit, that is no more.

That has some tragic implications - namely, there will be way less Polish students at UK universities. What does it mean for Polish societies? And how can they mitigate and make the most out of this situation?

In his article, Zach Smerin proposes a plan of action for Polsocs that may ensure cooperation and mutual support.

The Russian aggression against Ukraine continues. It has been met with almost unanimous condemnation in the West. Almost - as there were some who decided to side with the aggressor, either explicitly or ambiguously. Especially disappointing were such voices from the left.

“Do you wave back at children when they wave at you? The boys in red shirts sitting in buses passing you by as you wait for yours to arrive, the girls holding on to their dad’s hands and shyly yet bravely waving at you at the grocery store.”

The EU has a long-standing tradition of political and economic cooperation. But what about the military? Following the Russian aggression against Ukraine, the question of creating a European army is more vital than ever before. But is that even a possibility? And how would such an army relate to existing alliances - the UN and NATO?

Did you know that buying used clothing reduces carbon footprint by 82%? At the same time, thrifting can be problematic - reselling clothes on online platforms means that less clothes are available to those who can’t afford new garments. So how do we find balance and what can be done to stop the gentrification of charity shops?

Will Poland ever follow the United Kingdom in leaving the EU? Even though the initial boost to the Polish economy, some political figures keep questioning the right to freedom, as well as the court independence of the country. Wiktor Knowski asks whether there is even the slightest chance of Poland actually following through with the idea.

Not so long ago, all EU citizens were able to apply for a loan that covered the 9,000 pounds a year tuition fees. Following Brexit, the UK government withdrew from the program, effectively taking away the opportunity to study in the United Kingdom to tens of thousands of prospective students.

Save EU Students is an initiative started as a response to these cuts. Read about their fight for a better future for all EU citizens interested in studying in the UK.
