🔴 Come and take a stand against modern slavery.

On Friday 16 October, students from Coventry University will come together at Coventry Cathedral to create a striking Red Sand Project artwork, raising awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking.

The event is being delivered in close partnership with the West Midlands Anti-Slavery Network and Coventry City Council, bringing together students, organisations and the local community to start conversations about exploitation and what we can all do to help prevent it.

Around 200 students will take part, with art, music, film and conversation exploring modern slavery and the gaps through which people can fall.

📍 Coventry Cathedral
📅 Friday 16 October
⏰ 10.30 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Come along, see the Red Sand artwork being created and join the conversation ahead of National Anti-Slavery Day on 18 October.

Everyone is welcome.
