Staff: celebrate Lunar New Year on Wednesday 14 February

The Shine BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) Staff Network is proud to invite you to celebrate Lunar New Year on Wednesday 14 February from 12:30 13:30 at Turner Sims, Highfield Campus.

Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year) is celebrated on Friday 16 February. This day is the new moon day of the first Chinese lunar month in the Chinese calendar system. This celebration is dictated by the lunar cycle, which can fall anytime between 21 January – 20 February.

According to the Asian astrology, your year of birth – and the animal this represents – determines a lot about your personality traits.

Although each of the 12 animals gets an outing every dozen years, there are different varieties – for example, 2018 is the first year of the earth dog since 1958.

Anyone born in an earth dog year is said to be communicative, serious, and responsible in the workplace.

Join the Shine BAME Staff Network to enjoy some performances, lunch, and networking.

This event is open to all staff.

Places are limited, so please register here.
