We love opening the doors to the University and welcoming families from across the city. In addition, the Marks & Spencer archive will be open, giving the opportunity to discover the amazing collection with exciting hands-on activities and the chance to meet Percy Pig.ĭr Alexa Ruppertsberg, Head of Public Engagement with Research, said: “Be Curious is the highlight of our year. The organisation is an inclusive and accessible creative space for young people.

Everyone at the University is committed to supporting and engaging with young people across our city and region, giving them the opportunity to be creative and develop critical thinking skills.”Īs a part of the day’s activities, Be Curious will hold a fun and interactive theatre workshop open to anyone aged between 9-16, held by young company. “While we hope Be Curious will educate, we really want the event to entertain and inspire. We value our position at the heart of our local community, and Be Curious is a fantastic opportunity for young – and not-so-young – people to learn more about the work that we do at the University of Leeds. Professor Simone Buitendijk, University of Leeds Vice-Chancellor and President, said: “We’re delighted to once again welcome everyone to join in our popular Be Curious event.

From fossils to microscopes, triangles to trees, there will be over 40 features in the programme this year, meaning more to explore. On Saturday 13 May, 10am-4pm, the University will be open to the public for a day of free family-friendly activities. Be Curious, the annual University of Leeds family open day, is back for 2023.
