What is a Uni Chapter?

Your campus, your movement

A SAWA Uni Chapter is a student group at a university or college, run by students and supported by SAWA Initiative. Members learn, lead and create together, on campus and in the communities around it.

Any course, any year. If you care about equality, there is a place for you.
