Meaningful objects

Familiar items with special importance to individuals can help them maintain a connection with home, or aspects of their lives that feel far away, and may bring comfort and evoke happy memories if they feel homesick.
All entries will be submitted into a prize draw for a chance to with either a £25.00, £15.00 or £10.00 amazon voucher.

What if I choose the wrong career option?
Deciding your future career path can be daunting and at times overwhelming - there's so much information and yet somehow so many unknowns. This 30 min workshop aims to help you deal with this challenge, and will include:
- Strategies for choosing between options
- Information that shows that if - worst case scenario - you end up going into a job you hate, it's actually completely fine and there's lot of positives you can still gain from the experience (including making a strong application for a job in a different industry).
Prior to attending this workshop, it is strongly recommended that you take a few minutes to review our Choosing Your Career pages, including having a go at our short Making Career Decisions interactive course.

Wobble Week at The Law School
We will be in the LASS Atrium each day to answer any questions, deal with any queries, and generally be there to have a chat with anyone who might need a friendly ear.
We will also be introducing you to our ‘Wobble Wall’. Throughout the week you will find a board up with some notes in the LASS Atrium that will give you the opportunity to flag up worries or concerns anonymously. At the end of the week, we will look at the feedback and see if there is anything we can do to help. You can also take your chance with our lucky dip to see if you can bag yourself a little something in return!

Conversation Café: Why You Suck at (Uni) Life
What was the last conversation that changed your life?
The best conversations don't have to happen by accident. They can happen when we show up with our whole selves, when we are at both our most curious and our most brave. A Conversation Cafe is a gathering where we do just that.
Conversation Cafes are pop-up, safe spaces, where we talk face-to-face about what matters most. Through presentations, movement and interaction we curate brilliant conversations that might just change your life.
