Come to the free EDI Symposium on Diversity Day, 6 October 2026!

Do you have a role model, or are you perhaps a role model for others? What exactly is a role model, and why can a role model be important? The EDI Symposium will focus on the power of role models. There will be various workshops and opportunities to meet others.

ACHN will be there from 13:45u-14:45u so come join our free form poetry workshop!
