FAQ
Do I need to be latinx or speak spanish/portuguese to join?

No, you can still join! We are not exclusively only for latinxs students however, we are a safe space for UAL’s latinx and hispanic speaking community therefore you will be surrounded by this and will be exposed to spanglish/portuñol.

What kind of events do you do?

We hold a series of varied events as we are guided by the interests of each new incoming group of latinxs. We hold a monthly meet-up and a final year exhibition. In the past we have held panel discussions, movie/documentary evenings, dinners, dance classes, art viewings and club nights. This year our events will be adapted to follow covid-19 safety measures.

Through where do you communicate?

We mainly communicate through our whatsapp group (please email us to latinx.ual@gmail.com join).

As well as a monthly newsletters and our instagram (latinxs.society).

You can also contact our admins to their university emails below.
