Would you like to meet and socialise with other students while having a free tea, coffee or other refreshments?

Come and decorate a tote bag with Umii, an app that matches you with other students based on your interests, course type and societies and makes it super easy to connect, start conversations and develop friendships together. Find out more about the app from Newcastle's Umii Ambassador while you get creative with your tote bag decorating, or use this as an opportunity to meet friends in person who you've connected with on Umii!

Tote bags, art supplies, and refreshments will be provided - all you have to bring is yourself!

This event is not exclusive to computer game developers, but we invite all creatives interested in games, to join us for a series of interactive workshops over the course of four days during Enrichment Week from Monday 6th through Thursday 9th November 2023. The aim is to collectively come to an understanding of what equality, diversity, and inclusion mean and to develop digital games for exploring this further through a variety of creative activities, including theatre-based techniques. 

This event is available to all Newcastle University students. No coding skills necessary!

Due to the nature of the event, we will form teams as part of the activities, and we therefore ask you to commit to attending all four days of the event.

Please register your interest following the link. The deadline for completing the form is Sunday 29th October 2023.  We will get back to you with a confirmation of your participation shortly after this date.

If you have any questions, please contact sara.zaeemdar@newcastle.ac.uk 

All students are required to complete the ‘Your Newcastle – Induction, Orientation and Guide’ Canvas course. This course contains essential information and training on health, safety and wellbeing topics and can be found in your Canvas site.
