Public invited to discussion on Brexit at the university

AN exhibition and discussion event at Loughborough University looks to showcase young people’s ideas on a post-Brexit future.

As Britain’s leaders prepare to take the country out of the EU, academics and politicians alike are discussing how to shape the future of our society.

Our Nation’s Future brings the views of young people in Loughbor- ough into the debate with a unique exhibition of artworks on the theme of ‘Britain after Brexit’.

From Monday, November 6 - Friday, November 10, an exhibition exploring young peoples’ creative visions will be in the Martin Hall Exhibition Space, 11am-4pm.

Artworks on show as part of the exhibition will include a video game, models and sculptures, large posters, a performance from Frenzy Youth Theatre and more.

Then on Friday, November 10, 4pm6.30pm, a roundtable discussion will take place.

It will see a panel of university lecturers and professors, alongside Loughborough MP Nicky Morgan, comment on the messages being dis- played by the artists.

The discussion is free to attend and open to the public.

An event spokesperson said: “The general public and our young artists will be able to ask our panel of academic and policy experts questions about ‘Britain after Brexit’ and our panel members will also share some areas of their research with you before making a brief statement about their views of a post-Brexit future for the country.”

The exhibition and discussion is part of the ESRC Social Sciences Festival 2017.
