LGBT activism and representation

LGBT activism on campus plays an important role in the student educational experience: it both protects from discrimination by offering safe spaces to meet each one other and enables to fight against it by politicising sexuality and gender identity issues.

In February 2015 ÐßÐßÊÓƵ celebrated LGBT history month. The #ÐßÐßÊÓƵpride Festival was launched in the Students’ Union building and more than 20 events were staged throughout the month to campaign for and celebrate the LGBT community at ÐßÐßÊÓƵ and across the city. ÐßÐßÊÓƵ also proudly to flew the rainbow flag on campus for LGBT History Month during February.
