motions

The best way to influence the student union without having to personally engage in one or several of the union bodies is to submit motions to the representative assembly meetings. A motion is a document that contains the following information.

  • Bakgrund: Varför motionen skrivs, vad vill du ändra och varför.
  • Yrkande: Exakt vad beslutet ska gälla. Tex. ändring av paragraf i stadgan eller liknande.
  • Vem eller vilka som står bakom motionen.

Please use our motion template when you write your motions.

The motion is then submitted to styrelsen@bthstudent.se before the motion stop which is 14 days before any regular representative assembly meeting.

projects and events

We often receive ideas from students about projects or similar which we could arrange. Do you have a suggestion on a project or an idea of an event? But you might not have time or the possibility to go through with it yourself?
