Warwick India Forum – Unravelling India
The forum will look at many different aspects of India at the moment: growth, law, politics, development etc
It is supported by Warwick Economics Department
This is the first time that it is being run, so it needs a lot of advertising to help get it out there and students hearing about it.
They have a logo
They would like advertising to focus on the big speakers that they have coming in
They want a few different posters up around campus
It is all set up and run by Warwick students
Leamington History Festival
After the fab presentation by Gabby last week, this week we will be putting our ideas into the mix for the Leamington History Festival 2012.
The inaugural Leamington Looks Back festival of history, introduced by Heritage Matters, a non-profit group, will take place in 2012. Having received funding from the South Leamington Community Forum for a festival volunteer programme, enabling student residents of South Leamington to work alongside other members of the community to help organise and run the festival
South Leamington residents are invited to an introductory workshop on Thursday 24 November at 6-7.30pm at the Brunswick Healthy Living Centre in Leamington, to find out more about the festival volunteer programme.
A few festival features:
o starting next year, 26 May – 10 June
o A ticketed event with a popular keynote speaker. We are delighted that Tony Benn will deliver his show with Roy Bailey, “The Writing on the Wall”, a history of popular dissent in words and song.
o 1950s dinner-dance, with dance classes leading up to the date, recalling our town’s celebrations of the Coronation
o Nostalgia picnics with band in the Jephson Gardens
o 40+ events and activities taking place throughout Leamington at commercial and public venues, with something for everyone, from families and children to history buffs and vintage collectors
