The Wellbeing Team in Student Support and Wellbeing is running a Wellbeing Festival, in conjunction with Kent Union, on Thursday 23 March in Eliot Hall, from 10.00-16.00.

The aim is to encourage and support students and staff to take care of their own wellbeing in a variety of fun and practical ways, as well as providing information on how to reach out for help when necessary.

There is an exciting line-up of internal and external organisations taking part in the day, including Espression Arts café, yoga sessions, a bushcraft workshop, poetry therapy, mindful colouring, various mental health and charity stands, representatives from the LGBT network, the Chaplaincy, Sports Centre and Kent Union, refreshments and live music.

It will be very interactive and, hopefully, a memorable experience to remind people to connect positively with their own mind and body, and with each other.

For more information, see the Wellbeing Festival webpages.

On Tuesday 7 March at 17.00 in the Clock Tower Lecture Theatre, School of Music and Fine Art, there will be a screening of pieces from the SoundImageSound International Festival of New Music. Robert Coburn, Conservatory of Music, University of the Pacific, will present the works and give a short pre-concert talk. This event is FREE to attend

From 2003 to 2014, the SoundImageSound International Festival of New Music and Visual Image presented annual performances of new works by composers and visual artists who merged sound and image in a form of inter/multi-media. Curated from an open call for works, SIS featured a widely diverse collection of styles and media from artists across all continents.

Robert Coburn
Influenced by minimal visual art and traditional Japanese music and theatre, composer, performer, and sound artist Robert Coburn merges minimal sound and silence in a perceptual experience of time and personal memory. His compositions often integrate field recordings with live performance and video. He was a founding member of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology and has created gallery installations and permanent soundworks as public art throughout the US.

Tickets are now on sale for Kent Critical Law Society’s flagship conference themed this year on ‘Law in Times of Crisis.’

More than 40 panelists will be contributing their expertise over two days, on 18-19 March, including keynote speakers Dr Vicki Squire (Reader in International Security at Warwick) and Dr David Blake (Professor of Pension Economics at Cass Business School, City University London and Director of the Pensions Institute).

The student-led event is organised each year by committee members from Kent Critical Law Society (KCLS) and will be hosted in 2017 in Woolf College on Kent’s Canterbury campus. As well as providing undergraduate and postgraduate students an opportunity to network with academics and practitioners from across the UK, this year’s conference will explore the broader context within which legal responses to an increasing array of social, economic, political and environmental challenges emerge. Presenters and attendees will also critically explore the wider impact of contemporary problems on states, communities and citizens.

Where can I buy tickets?
Tickets for the conference are available to purchase online. Early bird tickets, priced at £5, cover attendance at both days (including lunch, snacks and drinks).

As a society, KCLS aims to interrogate the social, economic and political dimensions that shape legal doctrine and contemporary society. One of six student societies at Kent Law School, it provides a forum in which students, academics, practitioners and non-governmental organisations can come together to discuss and debate critical legal issues and research.

More information about KCLS is available on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
