The Race Equality Charter Mark

Being a member of REC provides us with a framework, to help us identify and self-reflect on organisational and cultural barriers that might affect minority ethnic staff and students. From this (and our other Equality, Diversity & Inclusion measures), we develop initiatives and solutions for positive change across the University.

Past Events

Here are some of our past events:

Reclaiming the Narrative Exhibition

The 2024 Black History Exhibition was themed 'Reclaiming Narrative' and in the spirit of this, we invited students to submit their artwork, celebrating Black history, culture and identity.

The exhibition was an opportunity to explore how Black communities, past and present, have taken control of their stories, reshaped their identities, and resisted dominant narratives. Whether through education, history, art, activism, or everyday experiences, we encouraged students to creatively interpret this theme, highlighting personal, cultural, or global perspectives.

Equip Yourself to Facilitate Critical Conversations

As part of our commitment to the Race Equality Charter and the Welsh Government’s Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan, we offered a workshop for staff to gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to facilitate impactful conversations around culture, race, and anti-racism, both inside and outside the classroom.

This was a crucial step in building an inclusive, anti-racist, academic environment to support staff and students alike by facilitating critical conversations on culture, race and anti-racism.
