The Warwick Institute of Engagement (WIE) is working with teams from across the University to put on a public programme of events and activities which will engage varied and diverse communities with our research.

As part of this, we are planning a series of monthly, themed 'roadshow' events which will take place in various locations around Coventry - at community centres, festivals, libraries, pop-ups etc. These roadshow residencies will work with local communities to co-create a series of performances, workshops, discussions, debates, and experiences.

We are currently looking for expressions of interest to work with our curating teams to populate each monthly event with content.

Below you can see each monthly theme and the curating team who will be leading. If you are interested in being involved and would like to find out more, please complete the expression of interest form.
