Solent University celebrates Black History Month in Southampton this October with a series of events marking the city's black community's contributions and achievements. The theme "Celebrating Our Sisters" emphasizes black women's vital role in shaping history, inspiring change, and building communities.

Our Widening Participation Team will be appearing at Southampton’s first ever Black Businesses, Art and Music (BBAM) Festival at the Southampton O2 Guildhall (11am-6pm)

Black-led organisations from across the city have come together, led by The United Voice of African Associations (TUVAA), to bring forth this vibrant celebration of city’s African, Caribbean and Black British communities. The event features street art, poetry, music, food, fashion, and businesses. Solent hosts a careers and Higher Education stand with the Southampton City Council Employment and Skills Team.
