From 5th – 9th October, the University of Lancashire Students’ Union celebrated Faith week, a week dedicated to fostering understanding, connection and community amongst students from different faith backgrounds.
Bringing communities together
Faith week provided a welcoming space for students to explore different traditions, meet new people, and strengthen their sense of belonging on campus. The week featured a variety of events designed to encourage conversations, creativity and community spirit.
Events included:
- Buddhist Prayer Flag Making
A creative and interactive session where students designed their own traditional Buddhist prayer flags.
- Muslim Students’ Welcome Dinner
A warm and inclusive gathering that brought students together over food, conversation, and shared experiences, creating a welcoming space for students to connect and build lasting friendships.
- Jewish Students’ Breakfast
A relaxed and welcoming breakfast that provided students with the chance to start the day together, enjoy good company, and connect with fellow students in a friendly environment.
Faith week was a huge success, showcasing the diversity of faith communities across the University and creating opportunities for students to build new friendships and strengthen existing ones. A special thank you to Luke, Lead Community Organiser, and all the student Community Organisers for their dedication and hard work in making the week such a memorable celebration.
