The day is celebrated annually around the world. The date 10 December is the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

And remember, at Open Polytechnic we embrace and celebrate all students and staff, whatever your background. The same goes for our Library & Learning Support Team. No question is a silly question so, don't hesitate to reach out if you have a question, big or small, about your assessments or study - from essay writing to APA referencing, to doing research or navigating your course - every student is entitled to support!
