What is Nishaan?
Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Welcome to Nishaan!
Nishaan is an independent, student-led, not-for-profit organisation that brings together university Sikh societies across London and the South-East. Founded in 2011 with eight Sikh societies, we have since doubled in size, and have organised over 100 events for Sikh students during this time.
The Nishaan Network
– Exclusively by Students for Students
“Nishaan works to bring together Sikh students and member Sikh societies to provide a relaxed environment for students to share an educational, spiritual and social experience of Sikhi at their own pace, resulting in positive life changes.”
Our goals:
- To provide students with a non-judgemental, informative and relaxed environment to learn at their own pace and comfort, about Sikh ideology, culture and history.
- To facilitate networking opportunities for Sikh university students in the UK.
- To provide students with a practical experience of Sikhi, promoting the ideology that Sikhi is a way of life.
- To hold collaborative social events and activities in order to give a balance to our events. These events must be held in a safe, fun and inclusive environment. Nishaan will refrain from organising any bhangra event, club night or event that serves alcohol.
- To bring current affairs issues affecting Sikhs, and Sikh youth in particular, to the forefront of discussion and debate among students.
