There are two ways to respond to change: give in or stand up. What do you choose?

In times of uncertainty, history has shown that quiet resilience and collective resolve light the path forward. As the tide shifts, we must remind ourselves: our visibility is not a privilege, but a right—one earned, fought for, and never to be erased.

Join us for a private, intimate salon with David Isaac, Provost of Worcester College, Oxford, an OxPAN ambassador and a thought leader in justice, human rights, and the fight for equality.

Together, we will discuss the challenges ahead, build connections in confidence, and shape the next chapter of our community’s resilience.

This is not just a gathering. It is a call to unite and to reaffirm who we are. You will leave with a new sense of hope and optimism.

6:00 PM – Meet in Lobby
6:05 PM – Doors Close (Entry will not be allowed for late arrivals)
