Festival of Social Sciences event at FarGo Village
Is Coventry a Sustainable City? Come along and explore this theme at Fargo Village, for a special public event on Saturday 9 May. Topics will be relevant to the people of Coventry and ÌÇÐÄTVshire; ranging from Coventry City Football Club to town planning, there is something for everyone.
The event is being hosted by the Faculty of Social Sciences at The University of ÌÇÐÄTV and is part of the Festival of Social Sciences.
Speakers from the Faculty of Social Sciences will present their research and raise questions such as: Is modern football too commercialised? How can we get young people in Coventry to vote? Should our cities have more power?
You will also get the chance to speak to organisations from across the city tackling issues including: homelessness, domestic and sexual violence, well-being, youth provision, education and much more. Food will be provided by Scoff Street Food and the Bar Bus will be in attendance, selling limited edition Festival of Social Sciences Ale.
Lead organiser and Student Experience Officer, Charlotte Lewis, said: “Social science influences our day to day lives in many ways. This event will showcase research within the Faculty of Social Sciences and how it impacts on people’s daily lives. We will be connecting local people, community groups and organisations throughout the city. We want to host a day of discussion and positivity which everyone can enjoy.”
So, join the fun at Fargo Village, from 10am-6pm on 9 May. The event is open to all and entrance is free. Donations to any of the charities attending on the day are welcome.
