Black History Month

The theme for Black History Month 2024 is 'Reclaiming Narratives'. Bristol is a diverse city and it is important that we provide opportunities to promote knowledge, and learn about, Black History and experience. We also want to continue celebrating Black joy and community. You can learn more about Bristol's Black History with Bristol Museums, who are gathering stories and showcasing voices that shine a light on Bristol's past.

Join us this Black History Month for Bristol SU's first Black alumni networking event for University of Bristol students on Thursday 10 October 2024. If you are interested in a pursuing career in Law, Finance, Consulting or Engineering, this is a great chance to connect with a range of industry professionals! This event is free and open to all students from any year group. Use this link to sign up.

The University are also hosting different events throughout the month. You can find out more on their webpage.

Who are the Black Students' Network?

The Black Students’ Network (BSN) is a platform that aims to promote the unity of Black students on Campus by essentially building the largest possible black “Network.” Their primary goal is to ensure all black students in the university feel a robust sense of belonging throughout the academic year.

Follow them over on Instagram to hear about upcoming events and meet-ups @bsnbristol, and find out more about the Network on their webpage here.

Beyond Black History Month

We want Black History Month to be an opportunity for students to create lasting connections and to further educate themselves about Black History. Beyond this, we're proud to collaborate with a number of student groups and networks throughout the academic year to host a range of events that celebrate Black culture and community. These events range from educational panels to performances. Don't forget to keep an eye out on our 'What's On' page to find out what events we have planned during and after October.
