From movie nights to lively discussions, there’s something for everyone this IWD
March 8th marks International Women’s Day (IWD), a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This years theme is Inspire Inclusion, campaigning to forge a more inclusive world for women. Exciting events will be taking place across the world, and we have found some pretty cool ones happening right here at Bournemouth University, so here is a round up of what is happening this week.
