Take part in a unique collective artistic experience
 

Any staff interested can add their own creative input to the World Music Day event – no need to be a virtuoso or a dance expert! 

Simply let your artistic instincts take over and follow the guidance of the coaches as you choose which artistic workshop to join from 2pm onwards*: 

•   singing,  
                                 •   instrumental  
                                 •   or dance and movement!   

* Each 30-minute workshop will be run three times (sessions at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm). To find out where to go for your chosen workshop, see the flyer for the day above.

Some roles on campus involve specific demands and requirements (on-call staff, reception staff, staff seeing patients, those dealing with deliveries of biological material and urgent samples) and a constant staff presence is needed. Therefore, everyone will organize themselves in advance and in consultation with their team manager and colleagues to ensure that everyone can make the most of the activities planned for this day.
