Student Take-Over Kit

Your step-by-step guide to leading a session!

Welcome to your Take-Over!

Thanks for stepping forward to lead a session as part of Student Take Overs. Whether you're hosting a celebration, skill share, or story circle, we’re here to support you.

Step 1: Plan your Session

Consider…

      • What are you sharing? (Culture, story, skill, idea?)

      • What kind of format suits it? (Discussion, creative, demo?)

      • Chill drop-in or more structured? You choose.

Step 2: We can help you with..

Together at Warwick can support you with:

      • Promotion

      • Providing the space

      • Providing basic materials

      • Helping shape your activity

      • Being there on the day (if you’d like a co-host!)

Step 3: Need inspiration?

Not sure what to run? Here are a few ideas:

  • Culture Jam: music, art, recipes, or festivals from your heritage or interests
  • Awareness Café: identity, mental health, neurodivergence, lived experience

  • Skill Share: origami, salsa steps, cooking basics, study hacks

  • Story Circle: activism journeys, travel tales, or moments that shaped you

  • Everyday Observances: share a smaller cultural tradition, memory, or celebration — from Newroz to Mid-Autumn, to personal or family customs.

Step 4: Let's Talk Details

We’ll confirm the details with you:

  • Date / Time
  • Space needed

  • Materials or equipment

  • Access needs

  • Any help you'd like from us
