Welcome to Workshop Week! A short initiative brought to you by AUBSU to celebrate our creative community and nurture a skill-swap culture. From student-run workshops to visiting artists and alumni, we have organized an exciting programme to stimulate your minds and help you pick up new skills. All workshops are open to all students and staff. Some workshops have limited spaces so be quick to book yourselves in. Hopefully this is only the beginning, we invite you to invite us to your next workshop!
