Be a Gather volunteer
Get involved with Gather Festival to gain new skills, meet new people and celebrate the community of cultures on campus and in the city.
Gather brings together students, staff and the local community. There will be a selection of fantastic taster events on offer in Semester One this year, to whet your appetite for the main week of festivities in March 2015.
Get involved
Join the friendly Gather team to develop you skills, meet new people and have fun! You can get involved in lots of ways:
- Feeling creative? - come up with your own event
- Interested in event planning? – volunteer to be part of the events team
- Want to help shape Gather? - be part of the organising team
Event ideas
Are you passionate about exploring global issues? Are there aspects of your culture you would like to celebrate and share? Do you want to make a change in the local community? Don’t be shy - send your ideas to the Gather team and they’ll be delighted to talk through the next steps with you. Last year saw a brilliant array of activities, including:
- Tai Chi with chai tea
- St Patrick's Day celebrations
