Celebrating Cultural Diversity at Queen’s Survey

Calling all staff and students at Queen’s –

At Queen’s we are committed to promoting cultural diversity, equality and inclusion among our communities. The BAME&I Network and The Language Centre invite you to join us to set up a planner of events, including invited talks and culture/language-associated festivals and days that we can celebrate in a range of ways (e.g. culture talks, posters, taster sessions/workshops, performances) at Queen’s and elsewhere.

We value the richness of languages and cultures brought in by staff and students to Queen’s and would welcome BAME&I members, in particular, to share your knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm of your linguistic and cultural events so that we can build up a repertoire and make plans for joint celebrations in the future.
