The Bigger Picture Festival – Celebrating Faith and Culture in our Community
The Bigger Picture Festival is a celebration of the diverse array of cultures in Swansea, aiming to educate those who take an interest in broadening their horizons. In an environment that encourages equality, diversity and inclusivity, the Bigger Picture Festival promotes freedom and opportunity to staff and students to share, explore, question and understand the varied faiths and cultures that are represented in the campus community and beyond.
Swansea University is home to people from over 120 different nations and many different faiths and beliefs. The Bigger Picture gives us a chance to engage, learn and contribute from others; as well as trying some fantastic food!

Photography has the power to tell stories, spark conversations and help us learn more about one another.
