Festival of Learning is back for 2017 and looks set to be bigger and better than ever

Festival of LearningRepresenting a wonderful celebration of learning, the Festival showcases BU’s research and expertise to a wide and varied audience, including local communities, staff, students, employers and alumni around the world.  Read on to find out how you can be involved in 2017!

After a hugely successful pilot in 2016, which saw BU’s established Festival of Learning go global in both China and Malaysia, we are delighted to announce that the global Festival of Learning will return for a second year.  Three distinct weeks of exciting events will take place to showcase global Fusion in ASEAN, India and China from March – May 2017.

Celebrating its fifth anniversary, the Festival of Learning will run in Bournemouth from 8-12 July 2017, with a vibrant opening family weekend and a diverse selection of events throughout the week. The Festival will conclude with a global day on 12 July to celebrate the fantastic array of events and learning taking place around the world as part of the Festival of Learning.

How to apply

 

Prior to putting forward an event proposal all applicants are advised to read the full details for both the UK Festival of Learning and the global Festival of Learning, which outline the scope and objectives of the festivals.

Once you are ready to submit your event proposal you will need to complete the online application form.  Applications for both the global Festival of Learning and the UK Festival of Learning will be handled via one form.  The form can be saved and edited up until the point you submit. To help make the process as easy as possible we have also provided a planning document that includes a list of questions and requested response lengths.

Find out more, download the planning document and take a look at dates for our drop-in sessions.
