About Us

The companion is an online platform where students, youth and campus voices are heard. The goal is to create a democratic and vibrant campus that brings forth a social change rooted in values and ethics. We put forward different views and opinions of the youth on the contemporary affairs of society. The challenges faced by the students have a special space in the Companion, especially those dealing with oppression, social justice and education.

The content published here are generated voluntarily by the students and youth, highlighting many issues that can trigger off a mainstream debate. The Campus Journo is our flagship internship program.
