Together at Warwick Takeover
Time is flying, and it’s the Together at Warwick team back again to tell you about what we’ve got coming up this term. We know it’s a stressful one for many of you with exams and assessments underway, so we’re running a series of events to help with your wellbeing, as well as collaborating with Warwick Sport and more on De-Stresstival.
We’re also running outdoor film screenings on the Piazza, hosting an incredible Picnic Playground, and looking forward to celebrating what Pride means to you at the end of term. Keep reading to find out more, and book your place so you don’t miss out…

We’re thrilled to finally have our very own Instagram page, @WarwickTogether, and we can’t wait to share incredible event footage with you all. We’re even running a competition to win 1 of 5 x £15 Food & Drink vouchers – head to our Instagram, make sure you’re following, and like the post to enter!
Why do we always give away Food & Drink vouchers?
Because we can email them directly to your inbox if you win, making it easier for you to claim your prize. If you have ideas for prizes you’d rather see, send us a DM!

The Global Illuminations Procession takes place in November this year. To mark Warwick’s 60th anniversary celebrations, we’ll be processing through campus with lanterns and large props to represent our diverse community.
You can expect bright colours, music, dance and some surprises in store! Last term, we collaborated on creating a giant snake to honour the Chinese Year of the Snake, as well as an enormous macaw to represent South America. We’ve kickstarted Term 3 with two prop-making workshops so far – collaborative body sculptures with Natalie Zervou-Kerruish and an incredible tiger in collaboration with Warwick India Forum.
If you’ve got an idea for a prop that would represent you, or you want to check out the workshops we’ve got coming up, head to our website.
