Grants of up to $2500 are available to UNSW Sydney students and staff to deliver events and activities during the festival in September.
The annual UNSW Diversity Festival brings students and staff together for a week of free events and activities. The festival aims to ignite important conversations about how we can foster a more inclusive society where everyone can participate and feel a sense of belonging.
Diversity Festival 2024 will be held throughout the week of 16–20 September.
