In a celebration of the city’s diversity, the University of Bradford is welcoming back its popular Diversity Festival.
The theme of this year’s festival, which runs from 12-16 March, is ‘Challenging Perceptions’. The university says the programme looks at new thought provoking ideas and is created in partnership with staff, students and external partners.
Highlights of this year’s festival include a comedy night with Francesca Martinez and Britain’s Got Talent star Jack Carrol, a panel discussion on ‘taking back the power’ and an opportunity to hear survivors’ stories from the charity Karma Nirvana.
Also featuring is Bisi Alimi, the anti-gay campaigner who became the first Nigerian to come out on national television.
