UNSW is gearing up for another vibrant Diversity Festival from 16–20 September.
Diversity Festival brings students and staff together for a week of free activities, workshops and performances. The Festival will spark thought-provoking conversations from different perspectives about how to create a more inclusive society.
This year’s program includes more than 30 events, celebrating the diversity, creativity and talent of our community.
Each year, students and staff from across the University collaborate to deliver a festival that is truly community-driven. This year’s program features contributions from a range of faculties, divisions, institutes, clubs, societies, the SRC and Arc.
“Diversity Festival is a week to be immersed in celebration, connection and learning, with representation from all corners of campus life. I’m looking forward to seeing our community come together and enjoying the activities,” says Professor Bruce Watson, Pro Vice-Chancellor Inclusion.
