The OU in Scotland and Oxfam are hosting a tea party to celebrate International Women's Day.

It will be held at the Oxfam Bookshop, 5 Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow City Centre and will include tea, fairtrade baking, talks on women and poverty, and raising money for a good cause!

The tea party takes place on Thursday 8 March from 6.45pm. Open University speakers include staff tutor Lore Gallastegi, who will be speaking about the OU Malawi Project, and AL Irene Hossack, who will be presenting some poetry.

They will be accompanied by Gill Scott from Glasgow Caledonian University, Katherine Trebeck from Oxfam UK and a speaker from the 'Tea in the Pot' women's drop-in centre.

The event will promote International Women's Day and is also a fundraiser for Oxfam.
