On International Women’s Day itself there will be a march leaving from the Students' Union lawn at 1.30pm – all staff and students are welcome to attend.
There will also be plenty of creative sessions to get involved with, including a crochet workshop and banner making (led by LU Arts), and beginners’ classes in karate and pole fitness. If you are looking for activities to get involved with during the evening there will be a film screening of ‘Aftersun’, run in collaboration with Flix student cinema, and a pub quiz in the Students’ Union.
