Description
This year’s event brings together students and academics from the Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies to explore the different forms of resilience we’ve developed alone, togeth...er, during a difficult year, looking ahead to a hopefully brighter future. Throughout the sessions in the day, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on the highs and lows of the year and imagine what a better future could hold for study, work and life. You’ll hear and share stories of resilience and hope and join in discussions about the importance of standing up against all forms of discrimination and racism, especially during times of crisis. As this is the time of the year for moving up and moving on, you’ll be invited to shake off the lows from this year in the dancing session for the day. In the last part of this event, you’ll hear about some of the work that has been going on during this year in the Children’s Research Centre, the School of Languages & Applied Linguistics and the School of Education, Childhood, Youth and Sport and join us in celebrating a year of making it through and making things happen, building on our resilience. With Fary Cachelin and Sarah Jones
