Join Leeds33 for our first networking event of the year on 1 July 2025, 3.30pm – 5pm!
As part of our Arts Council England-funded activity, we are delivering a series of free events themed upon our three priorities: Creative Skills, Creative Health and Youth Voice.
Focussing on Creative Health, we are inviting you to come to discover, learn and connect with each other at the University of Leeds.
What will we be doing?
We will be bringing people together to network through the following activities:
- Networking bingo: an ice-breaker for the start of the session, this is a quick-fire activity where you find and interact with people who match the descriptions on your bingo card. The goal is to fill in the card by talking with others and discovering shared interests.
- Speed networking: formatted like speed dating, this will give you the opportunity to meet multiple people in a short space of time through timed-sessions.
- Themed spaces: there will be different areas of the room that focus on areas within Creative Health. You will be able to choose which area interests you most and talk with like-minded people under that topic. If you want to be part of multiple spaces, you can join another area at any time.
Who is this session for?
This session is open to creative professionals, cultural organisations, freelancers, artists, youth workers, educators, teachers – basically anyone interested in creative health and cultural education for young people!
How long is the session?
The session will run for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
