<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis interactive workshop series offers practical tools and real-world guidance, specifically tailored to the the realities of working in HE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out more about the workshop series here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Listening session – 16 June<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesday 16 June, 11:00-12:00 in Room 2.01 in the Old Library Building<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n We wanted to take a moment to check in with you during what feels like a very uncertain and unsettling time. The current political climate, both here in the UK and globally, can feel overwhelming – and at times, frightening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For many of us, particularly those who have experienced marginalisation because of our race, ethnicity and\/or faith, this moment may feel even heavier, less safe, and more unpredictable. We want to acknowledge that openly and without minimising the impact it may be having on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As members of the Advisory Board, we want you to know that we are here for you. We don’t have all the answers, but we are committed to creating a space where you can speak openly, feel heard and be supported, without judgement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Members are warmly invited to join us to talk, to listen, or simply to sit with colleagues who understand and share similar experiences on Tuesday 16 June, 11:00-12:00 in Room 2.01 in the Old Library Building <\/strong>(upstairs from the Courtyard). <\/strong>There is absolutely no pressure, just a chance to connect and take a moment together in a supportive environment. Please note that, on this occasion, this space is intended for members and will not be open to allies, so that we can hold a more focused and safe space for shared experiences.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/nuren\/files\/2026\/06\/image-2-1024x683.png\")
