As a study association, CS Ubuntu is led by a 3-headed board consisting of students - or recent graduates. The board rotates every year, and is democratically chosen at a general assembly. It consists of the President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer. As the association grows, we expect to extent the board, too.
Funding comes primarily from contributions, and Utrecht University (Ufonds, Vidius) funds and subsidies for specific activities, such as studytrips.
Madalities of action are a yearly studytrip to a post-conflict area, conflict-related excursions, seminar, lectures, as well as social activities.
The activities, excursions, trips etc. are organized by the several committees (activities committee, social committee, studytrip committee, lectures committee, etc.)
CS Ubuntu has recently decided to cooperate with the Ubuntu House in Utrecht,, which provides a place and space for people who have endured poverty, homelessness and social isolation.
Yearly studytrip to a post-conflict area, where students of conflict studies acquire a better understanding of human conflict and human rights, and all their practicalities and realities.
Moreover, relevant lectures and excursions are organized regularly. These usually entail the providing of a perspective on a topical situation, that academic insight has not yet reached. This is done in a more extended form for the yearly Dies Symposium, which gives a platform to several (prominent) speakers on a relevant topic related to conflict studies.
