Student Coalition

The R2P Student Coalition (R2PSC) is an an affiliate organisation of the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect that seeks to advance support for, and promote the effective implementation of, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P).

The R2PSC has three core pillars: education, advocacy and networking. It seeks to design activities and opportunities in a way that maximises our members' studies, interests and skills. The Coalition hosts guest speakers, educational debates and simulation workshops designed to enrich student knowledge and generate informed and creative dialogue on issues that engage R2P. The Coalition also runs awareness raising and advocacy activities that empower members to make a positive contribution to important and dynamic issues in Australian and international R2P-related policy. In addition, the R2PSC seeks to connect members with other interested students and professionals in fields of interest to R2P including humanitarian work, the justice sector, aid and development, and politics.

The Coalition also hosts an Ambassador Program which aims to bring all three pillars together in a meaningful and engaging way. The Responsibility to Protect Student Ambassador Program is a joint initiative of the Responsibility Protect Student Coalition (R2PSC) and the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (APCR2P). The Program offers current university students and R2PSC members a unique opportunity to become critically engaged with R2P on both academic and advocacy levels, and exposes them to exciting personal and professional development prospects. R2P Student Ambassadors will undertake a research internship with the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect and then utilise the skills and knowledge acquired throughout the research placement to design and conduct one education and one outreach activity with the support of the R2PSC. The Program seeks to promote youth-led R2P awareness raising, norm promotion and networking by empowering young leaders.
