International Pride Month - Week 2

Pride Month with this years theme being 'Behind the Lens' we are celebrating the LGBTQ+ people in the film and TV industry, whilst increasing people's knowledge of the contributions they make. Throughout the month we will be celebrating Pride. So keep an eye out on our socials and blogs as we will be sharing and highlighting, what's going on across the Black Country throughout June and how we are celebrating this year at the college.

Today we will be sharing LGBTQ+ Icons that are represented in the community. As well as support organisations along with upcoming events, to share what's going on near you throughout the month of June in areas of the Black Country! 

To celebrate Pride Month, and all the incredible achievements of our students, we are also running an LGBTQ+ Pride event at The Recovery College next Wednesday between 1:30pm – 3pm. There will be a chance to bring your own food and drink, participate in a themed Quiz and check out a showcase of student work.

We want you to be proud of who you are, celebrate your uniqueness and step out of the dark into the light! Absolutely everyone is welcome as we focus on accessibility and inclusion. It's going to be something special.

Places are available in person and via zoom, please email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 0121 543 4061. Please note this event is for current Recovery College students only.
