"STREET MARKET" COMMUNITY FAIR AT DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY STUDENT UNION

Today we're taking part in the "Street market" Community Fair for Freshers Week at De Montfort University Students Union. This is the second year that the Council of Faiths has been asked to be involved in this event. Last year's fair was considerably smaller - and quieter.

Just a couple of days ago, we were helping out our colleagues in the International Chaplaincy at the University of Leicester's International Students Services Fair. That was strangely quiet, compared to previous years, while this  event today appears to be going from strength to strength. There are many more exhibitors covering a much wider range of activities and services, occupying a much bigger and busier space and many more students visiting.

The Council of Faiths shares a table with Christians Aware (thanks to Amanda Fitton for being the other half of our dynamic duo today). In the photo above, three ladies from the Leicestershire Education Business Association (who were exhibiting across the way from us) check out our wares.
