UR (University Rebellion) - May 23
On Monday 23th of May 2022 a group of people showed up at the University of Amsterdam (13:00-14:30), Roeterseiland campus, to protest the presence of Shell at the UvA. Most of them are students and staff, but other groups like Autonomous Student Struggle, Scientist Rebellion, Extinction Rebellion and Anti-war Feminists joined as well.
There was an artistic performance to denounce how the UvA legitimizes the crimes of Shell and still collaborates with them by having guest lecturers from Shell, inviting Shell to career events and interviews, promoting excursions to Shell for students, and receiving (greenwashing) funding from Shell.
