Black History Month
It’s Black History Month and there are many events, activities, and opportunities to learn this month across our beautiful city and campus.
If you’re a student at Norwich University of the Arts then follow and support the Afro-Caribbean Society (NUASUACS). They will be updating their Instagram with upcoming events and exhibitions happening across the Students’ Union, University Campus, and beyond.
Also have a look at Norwich University’s library, which has put together an online collection of resources, inspiration and reading material. If you’re on campus, look out for their display in the Duke Street Foyer.
