There was also the opportunity for attendees to network, enjoy a spoken word performance and some food and refreshments.
Trivia and TEDx Night
A night of ideas, interactions, and inspiring TED talks, passionately delivered by fellow Black student leaders. Attendees engaged in thought-provoking discussions and listened to empowering stories. We also presented trivia based on questions about Black history, culture, and achievements.
Student networking event
M10/10 students from various Faculties and backgrounds were able to connect with each other, develop their networks and gain insights into different fields of study.
“M10/10 has fostered an inclusive space for Black heritage students and has shown me new and exciting opportunities, which have allowed me to maximise my university experience so far.”
“The programme provided me with plenty of opportunities to further myself in my career as well as exploring other careers which truly benefited me. It also ran sessions which helped with academic success as well as just overall self-improvement, while also creating an environment where I was able to meet many amazing people."
“This is a community that makes me feel welcome and allows everyone to share who they are.”
