Congress 2020 has sold out!

This course is for Congress delegates to get ready for the event - providing some background on Congress and VicSRC.

Congress is VicSRC's flagship student-led event. Every year, students from across Victoria come together to plan action that will help solve the top issues in the education system, as voted by students. These action priorities become VicSRC’s advocacy platform for the next 12 months, spearheaded by our Student Executive Advisory Committee.

If you would like to learn more about how to get involved with VicSRC, visit our website or contact us at [email protected].

Work through this course at your own pace before Congress begins.
