🏆 A huge congratulations to the Glimmer Creative Team, who won the ‘Collaborative Learning and Innovation’ category at the recent Sussex Awards!

🎆 Glimmer - a lantern and lights trail which took place on campus earlier this year - was a truly collaborative endeavour between Same Sky, the Attenborough Centre, the Faculty of Media, Arts and Humanities, and Careers and Entrepreneurship.

🎨Our team helped to recruit paid student roles - leading to valuable work experience for several students, as Workshop Assistants and Event Stewards, to help bring the event to life.
