This is an online event.

Join researchers and artists at the University of Southampton – from the comfort and safety of your own home – for a family-friendly day of activities, workshops, live talks and performances.

‘Hands-On Humanities Day’ is the annual one-day event organised by the University of Southampton. For the first time, the event will take place exclusively online, starting with an interactive workshop in Blackboard Collaborate (10:30 – 11:30 AM GMT) for little budding poets. The workshop will then be followed by a live streaming on the UoS Festival YouTube channel.

Special guests will include artists David Blandy and Larry Achiampong and an exclusive ‘Writers in Conversation’ live session with author Tracy Chevalier.

Suitable for all ages, this varied and interactive programme will open a virtual door to the amazing humanities research that takes place at the university every day.
