Postgraduate Heritage Walks Series – registration is now open!

The Graduate School is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Postgraduate Heritage Walks Series, a student-run event funded by the Postgraduate Experience Awards:

Wandering and Well-being: revitalise mind and body and increase productivity through heritage walks in the Kentish Countryside

This exciting programme of walks will be led by postgraduate students throughout May and June 2018 and will focus on the connection between engagement with heritage and wellbeing. The walks will include visits to some of Kent’s remarkable historic villages and monuments, archaeological sites and places of natural beauty.

Postgraduate students are invited to sign up for a bursary to cover the cost of transportation and admission fees. For more information and to see the full programme, visit the webpage here: http://blogs.kent.ac.uk/heritagewalks/
