Veganuary at The OU

This January, we’re excited to promote Veganuary with a series of engaging events designed to inspire and educate our community about plant-based living. We’ll explore veganism from three key perspectives: sustainability, ethics, and health. 

As a first step, we encourage all staff and students to sign up for the Veganuary emails through this trackable Open University link, so by the end of January, we can see how many of our community have joined the scheme.

All staff and students are warmly invited to join us for these events and be part of the conversation.

To secure your spot, please sign up for each event through the provided Microsoft Forms link.
