International Student Christmas Conference 2024
December 18 - December 20
£200 – £300
The Cumberland Lodge International Student Christmas Conference is our longest-standing tradition, bringing together students from around the world to celebrate Christmas with us in Windsor Great Park.
Since 1947, we have opened our house to extend a warm welcome to students from all over the world, who are studying in the UK, to enjoy thought-provoking seminars and workshops, meeting others who are studying away from home, and to experience a British Christmas in our beautiful 17th century home and surrounding park.
Our theme for this year is: Should we make Father Christmas green again? We’ll be exploring innovative ways we can celebrate Christmas, as well as tackling questions about how we can contribute to a sustainable future. For example, would you give up gifts to save the environment? Should we go vegan at Christmas? And are reindeers a sustainable form of transport?
Our interdisciplinary programme is designed to inspire discussion and debate, supported by guest speakers and facilitators. It will also include:
- a Christmas carol service at Cumberland Lodge;
- a guided winter trail through Windsor Great Park (weather permitting);
- a traditional Christmas dinner, including a visit from Father Christmas;
- festive evening games and entertainment;
- opportunities to network and meet students from around the world.
