In this working group session we will hear from two working group members about their practices to generate discussion around how these might inform work in our own institutions. Ellie Johnson from the University of Leeds will focus on a project called ‘Leeds Futures’, which is a nationwide programme for sixth form students, aimed primarily at those who meet the University’s widening participation criteria. This 18-month initiative is delivered in a hybrid format, combining both in-person and online activities. Andy Adam from University of East Anglia (UEA) will talk about The Black Humanities Project is a partnership between the UEA Outreach Team and current students studying arts and humanities courses. The aim of the project is to inspire young people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds to consider a future in arts and humanities.

This event will take place from 14:00 pm - 15:30 pm.
