My experience being in the EDI team was fantastic; I gained lots of new experiences, learned a lot, and met great people. My only qualm is that I wasn't able to stay longer!

We do not have something like EDI lecturer or EDI department in my country of origin, so I was very curious about how it works from the inside. Turns out, EDI is embedded in everything that happens in the university – from PowerPoint slides preparation or the development of the course materials that you see on iLearn to major events with guest speakers. Students often do not realise how much work goes into creating the atmosphere of belonging in the classroom and beyond.
