Join in with National Inclusion Week
Join us for a week of insightful events as we celebrate National Inclusion Week.
We’re hosting a range of events to showcase the work we’re doing to enhance the sense of belonging and inclusivity at Beds and to bring our entire University community together.
You can get involved with our inclusion panel event in a spirited discussion, enjoy a dinner at the Treehouse, learn how to support working parents in your teams, enjoy coffee and cake at our LGBTQ+ Macmillan coffee morning, or learn from a Human Book and much more.
You can find out more about what’s happening and what National Inclusion Week is all about here. Or sign up to our events here.
Also to further entice you, we’ll be having free food and drink at our Inclusion panel and will also reveal our UBYOU video, featuring colleagues and students from around the university.
These are all DON’T MISS events so make sure you sign up while tickets are still available. A full list of our events is below.
