Join the Cultural Advisory Board at the University of Leeds!
Are you a current University of Leeds student with a passion for culture and the arts? Want to help shape how the University of Leeds thinks about creativity and culture?
The Cultural Institute is seeking applications from current students to the new Cultural Advisory Board. This is a new platform to make your voice be heard, and influence what culture on campus can look like for years to come – while engaging with like-minded peers and developing vital leadership skills.
Whether you are an activist, performance maker, sculptor or cultural event manager; whether you’re passionate about hip-hop or classical arts; making work with communities; art-house movies, Bharatnatyam, crocheting or spoken word, this opportunity is open to students from all disciplines and all levels.
