Chanukah is the Jewish festival of lights, and we want to bring our community together to learn about the joys, food, and camaraderie involved for awareness and celebration.
The word 'Chanukah' means 'Dedication' in Hebrew. It celebrates a miracle that happened in Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago. In the spirit of cross-cultural learning and promotion of diversity and inclusivity, this celebratory event is open to all. We welcome colleagues, students, friends, and families from all faiths and those of no faith.
Let us come together to celebrate diversity, foster connections, explore different cultures, taste latkes, sufganiyot, and other dishes, play dreidel, and create a more respectful world for everyone.
Our EDI events bring people together to celebrate the diverse cultures, identities and experiences that make the University of Westminster unique. Through engaging discussions, shared learning and meaningful connections, we champion inclusion, foster a sense of belonging and highlight diversity as one of our greatest strengths.
This is a ticketed event - please book your place and have your ticket ready on arrival.
