WHAT TO EXPECT: 

Our last speed friending event was a raging success, and this year we're joined by our SU President (and last year's BME officer!) and our new BME officer to help kick-start our first-ever BME Speed Friending event! Once again those who come along can get a free soft drink token (free drinks limited, first come, first served)

Come alone or bring people with you and get ready to mingle!

Although this event is targeted towards BME students, we welcome ALL UWE students to come and join us!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Once you arrive, you'll receive your drink token, which you can redeem at the bar for a free, non-alcoholic drink. Once everyone is seated, you will be given 3-5 minutes to speak to the person in front of you. Once the time runs out, everyone will move one seat over, and the process will repeat. There will be a couple of breaks throughout the night, and there will be prompt cards across the tables to help start conversations!

There will also be space upstairs for board games and chatting if you decide to take a break or would prefer a lower-pressure environment.

If you have any accessibility needs we should know about, please email us at SUCommunity@uwe.ac.uk.
