KAN Party LAW
KAN we change it? Yes, we KAN!
KAN is an international community and student party at UM. We ensure that YOUR voice is heard and that UM is held accountable.
Standing united for people and planet, our main priorities are:
More and better accessible study spaces
Affordable and healthy food at the cafeterias
Reflection weeks for every program
Furthermore, we will continue advancing the following topics in the councils:
Sustainability & Climate Justice: Phasing out of fossil fuels, improving flight policy, and increasing energy efficiency.
Diversity & Inclusivity: Promoting and attracting diverse backgrounds and improving learning accessibility.
Wellbeing: Mental health, housing, and sexual safety: Introducing new initiatives and increasing support facilities and resources.
Education and Careers: Ensuring equitable access to career services and platforms, as well as a future-proof curriculum.
Community and Internationalization: Easing international arrival and integration within the local community and realizing more cross-faculty collaboration.
We believe that social responsibility goes hand in hand with a thriving university.

Beatrice Pedergnana
Hi, I’m Beatrice and I’m an ELS student. I’ve been on the KAN board for a few months, besides politics I love climbing and singing, and I spend most of my free time trying to catch as much Dutch sunlight as possible. I have been advocating for climate justice for the last five years and I’d love to introduce this in the curricula, I believe the university should be a space for students and staff to develop critical thinking and skills to make an impact in the world. Don’t hesitate to stop me in the halls for a chat!
Thanos Pantazis
Hi, I'm Thanos, an ELS student. I have a strong interest in politics and some experience promoting the interests of my fellow peers as a representative during my time at the University of Athens, Greece. In terms of academics, my main interests lie in advocating for human rights and positive peace. Besides that, I love cinema. I truly believe that combining our passions and aiming for a better future is entirely possible when we realize how powerful each one of us is. I can't wait to meet everyone because only collectively can we bring about the change we want.
