OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Since 2009, Oxford Samaritans have been offering a listening service on Cornmarket Street for anyone who may need to talk on a Friday evening. Based on outreach events and approaches established by Samaritans Branches in South Wales, following the widespread media reports of suicides of young people in Bridgend in 2007, the service remains active in Oxford. Matt will share the history and evolution of this approach; why it works, and why it matters.
