The Festival of Decolonial Learning
Register to workshops and events here!
The Festival of Decolonial Learning (June 14-16th 2023) brings people together to learn about how we build decolonial and anti-racist atmospheres in our higher education learning and teaching spaces. Through learning and practising together we hope to create some decolonial joy and wrestle with challenging questions.
The Festival is organised as part of the Pedagogies for Social Justice Project based at the University of Westminster. We are really lucky to be joined by decolonial and anti-racist activists, academics, students and community groups from across the UK, Australia and Canada who will facilitate workshops and interactive sessions over the three days.
The Festival is open to Westminster students and staff and any members of the public who would like to come and learn with us. You can expect to engage with decoloniality from different perspectives, contexts and disciplines while having the chance to connect with other activists and communities. We know that everyone has different levels of knowledge and experience and everyone who wants to learn and contribute is welcome. We hope that you can join us and that together we can discover new ways of thinking and being in the university.
