Students and Young People

Since 2015, HOPE not hate has worked with many different partners to encourage young people and students to engage in the democratic process and become active citizens

This has included running awareness campaigns and workshops on democracy in sixth form colleges and on campus. We have run student campaigns around voter registration because of changes to the way people can register to vote.

Vote for HOPE

We’ve launched the VOTE for HOPE campaign to encourage people from all walks of life to register - and vote - in the upcoming General Election.
London Voter Registration Week

London has one the lowest voter registration rates across the UK regions and nations. Young people, who are more likely to be recent home movers, private renters and from a BAME background, are one of the most under-registered groups. So London Voter Registration Week is an opportunity to get registered and heard.

The problematic art of humanising Muslims

Ramadan is over and with it ends iftars – the meal eaten to break the fast at sunset. The month has become a great tool for those working on interfaith as the number of community iftars grows and activities such as solidarity fasting have become more common. But efforts to humanise a community that is often painted with a broad terrorist brush contains its own pitfalls.
