Join us for our special Black History Year online workshop on Mental Health in Black Students.
This workshop will explore design, creativity, mental health and wellbeing through the lens of Black academics and students’ experiences of higher education. We will look at the value of design and how it can be used to reflect on and communicate our experiences. We will also consider how design can be used as a powerful tool for activism and advocacy in the area of wellbeing and mental health.
