One World Week 2020 will be taking place the week of 16-20 March.
This year we are very exicted to be joining forces with the c-change team to add the theme of sustainability to some of the events.
If you have an idea for an event you would like to see in the One (Green) World Week programme this year please get in touch! For inspiration see the previous years’ schedules.
Members of the Syrian community from Hastings and Rother Refugee & Asylum Seeker Project and their buddying scheme kindly demonstrated how to cook this Syrian delicacy as part of the university’s One World Week celebrations on Tuesday 19 March 2019. Here’s Abdul’s delicious recipe for you to try and share with your friends.
We have started adding some of the One World Week schedule to our events page, including Pecha Kucha talks, a Syrian Pastry Masterclass, French animation, and an international football tournament!
We are still confirming events for the week, so do keep checking and/ or follow us on Facebook for the latest news….
We are launching a Humans of Brighton University Facebook page to coincide with One World Week 2019. We also hope to have an exhibition on campus featuring selected stories. We are looking for staff and students who are interested in taking part.
It will involve having a photo taken of you in a location on campus and having a short interview, which we will record, and part of which will be transcribed to feature as your ‘story’ on the Facebook post. You see examples of pages at other universities below.
We might ask you some questions about a particular topic, and decide with you what you’d like your story to include. Sometime we will just feature a line of two from participants, and sometimes it might be a series of 2 or 3 posts!
We will check the photo and text we use before posting them on Facebook to make sure you are happy with them.
We will need you to complete and sign a Photography and video consent form to say you give your permission for us to us your image on our Facebook page, and for the purpose of the exhibition, if you want to be part of that.
If you change your mind at any point, we will delete the post from Facebook and remove your image and words from the exhibition.
Contact Sarah Herbert at orientation@brighton.ac.uk if you would like to be involved or would like some more information.
