Tatiana (Tatti) Lütgens
Candidate for VP Welfare and Community
My Manifesto
SEX - Taboo or natural? Being able to talk freely about sex and sexual health is key to a young student’s wellbeing, especially for those with the mindset of having the full ‘uni experience’. My aim is to encourage an open conversation and bring awareness that there is no shame in having sex, not having sex and having sex safely.
I want to bring sex education to the doorstep of campus by making free condoms and STI-testing more accessible and focusing on an educational campaign, including guest speakers and interactive workshops.
Green Campus
BU does a great job in being sustainable, but more can be done. More glass and aluminium alternatives in the student shop and other outlets available at all times.
I also aim to create more green spaces by encouraging living art stations and proposing botanical walls around Talbot and Lansdowne campuses.
Mental Health and Accessibility
We all know that looking after our mental health is vital, but what tools do we actually have at our disposal to do this? My aim is to introduce weekly coffee mornings and craft sessions as a safe space to those who struggle with loneliness or just need someone to talk to.
Accessibility has been an ongoing battle at BU, from the constantly breaking disabled doors to the inaccessible layout of rooms; this needs to be evaluated and changed urgently.
Liberation Campaigns
As someone who’s worked with the campaigns for the past 2 years, I have gained enough experience to understand how they work and the importance they play in supporting marginalised communities on campus. My goal is to promote these campaigns through social media and campus presence and to encourage intersectionality by having monthly meetings and intersectional events.
