Who we are

Imagine a space where your views on politics, but also on all social issues, from economics to cultural conditions, are promoted, discussed and reinforced - with respect and insight. That's Politeia.

Politeia is a student-run online newspaper started by political science students here at the VU.  The members make up a wide range of studies. From anthropology to business, everyone is given a voice. Inspired by the ancient Greek concept of "politeia" as citizenship and community, we create a space for young voices to explore underrepresented political topics from diverse perspectives.

At Politeia, we publish engaging articles, interviews and other content on contemporary issues, ranging from international conflicts to cultural and social critiques. As you can see on this slide, our content covers a wide range of global topics, provoking meaningful discussions and highlighting stories overlooked by mainstream media. We focus on fresh student perspectives to promote thoughtful political discourse.

If you feel passionate about writing about global challenges, interviewing inspiring people or organising debates, then you are the ones we are looking for. Join us so that your thoughts can see the light of day, your ideas can spark discussion, and your activities can build bridges between cultures.

This is not just a club – it is an opportunity to become the voice of a generation. Don't wait for someone else to share your insights. Write it yourself!
