What is the Staff Summer Festival?

Get involved - this is your summer!

Explore fitness, wellbeing, community and learning activities on campus this summer

This summer we are running another series of fitness, learning, wellbeing and community events for everyone who works at LSE.

The idea is to bring colleagues together from across the LSE community to explore wellbeing and fitness activities, focus on professional and personal development, and meet people from around the School. Keep your eyes peeled throughout the summer for more activities - even if you aren't on campus full-time over the summer, there's plenty to get involved with.

Your Summer Festival

This is your summer, and we want to hear about your experience! We're encouraging everyone - individuals and teams alike - to share your photos and comments so we can celebrate what we achieve this summer and create a lasting memory. Please email your content to the Internal Communications team, or use our Comments, Compliments and Concerns online form.

There will also be opportunities to provide formal feedback throughout the festival. Please do use your voice to help us make lasting improvements. Filling in a feedback postcard at the end of a session is a great way to reflect on what you've learnt - and let us know how we're doing.
