What does being an ally mean to you? We’d love to hear from you about your perspective on (or experience with) allyship.
Send your story to oustudents-media@open.ac.uk (if you’re comfortable to) and we’ll help you share it. This could be in the format of an article, a short video, or perhaps an audio recording, but feel free to ask if you have any questions.
When putting your story together, consider questions like:
- What does effective allyship look like to you in the university context?
- What actions from allies have made a real difference to your experience here?
- What do you wish allies understood better? This can provide incredibly insightful and practical guidance for allyship education and application.
