As part of the University’s 60th anniversary celebrations, the event provided a stage for students to share their cultural traditions and learn from each other.

The procession on Warwick's campus, organised by Together At Warwick, was brought to life with giant sculptures, costumes, and lanterns. In the run-up to the procession, students and staff took part in creative workshops led by artists Taiba Akhtar, Frances Yeung and Tereza Buskova.

Participants crafted printed sashes and Eastern European-inspired folk wands, which were displayed during the evening procession.
