WorldFest is our annual celebration of our cultural diversity at Kent.
This year WorldFest took place digitally from 18 Mar – 23 Mar, 2021 and featured a range of intercultural events and streamed content.
It’s hoped the event will contribute to developing a conversation around diversifying the curriculum, Diversity Mark and building cultural validity in our schools. The Student Success Network organised a number of discussions lead by students and staff at the University of Kent
