Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Festival- York Business School

Join us for York Business School’s first-ever Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Festival, a two‑day event proudly designed and delivered by students from BME5001M Managing Events on the Events and Experience Management BA programme as part of their assessment.

This festival has been created to encourage open discussion, learning, and reflection on key issues that shape our diverse communities. Across the two days, the event will explore a range of important EDI topics through student-led activities, presentations, and conversations.

The festival aims to bring people together, highlight different lived experiences, and create an inclusive space for understanding and collaboration within the university community and beyond.
