Did you know that Southampton is bidding to become the UK City of Culture 2025? The Engagement & Advancement Events Team is thrilled to host an online event where you will hear from the diverse voices of our community and learn what ‘City of Culture’ means for our city.
Join us on Tuesday 15 February at 18:30 as we bring together a panel of guests to celebrate Southampton’s rich, diverse, and inclusive culture. Together, they will discuss Southampton’s City of Culture 2025 ambitions, the bid journey so far, and the importance of our city’s partnerships and diverse communities. You will also have the opportunity to put your questions direct to our panel.
We are delighted this online event will include panellists Shelina Permalloo, MasterChef winner, author, and Chair of Southampton 2025 Trust; Professor Fraser Sturt, Research and Evaluation Lead City of Culture, University of Southampton; Rob Kurn, CEO of Southampton Voluntary Services; Claire Whitaker OBE, Bid Director for Southampton City of Culture 2025; and hosted by Bhupinder Siran, Chair of the University of Southampton’s BAME Network.
