Inspiring Derby 2018 Monday 18 June to Saturday 23 June
Inspiring Derby 2018
22 years of inspiration!
Since 1995 we have held a week of events and activities to showcase the inspiring city of
Derby.
Organisations from across the city, led by Derby City Council’s Adult Learning Service, have
come together to showcase and celebrate what the city has to offer. The week is packed
full of opportunities to “have a go” and learn something new, to have a look “behind the
scenes” at some of our leading businesses or to find out more about the history and
heritage of Derby by visiting some of its unique buildings.
I hope you enjoy this year’s programme of events, most of which are free of charge. There is
a wide variety from which to choose and there should be something for everyone but the
activities are very popular, so most sessions need to be booked in advance.
Many thanks to our partner organisations who commit their time, resources and
enthusiasm to ensure that the week is a success. I’m deeply proud of the city of Derby and
I want everyone to feel inspired by all that it has to offer.
Councillor Ranjit Banwait
Leader of Derby City Council
Chair Derby City and Neighbourhood Partnerships

Introduction to Understanding Grief and Loss -
Building Resilience against Difficult Times
Landau Forte College, Fox Street, Derby, DE1 2LF
10am - 12noon
The death of a loved one, a close friend or family member, is an event we all have to face
sometime. Learning to survive the feelings of sadness and loss is a process that is normal and
usually time-limited, yet, in some cases, it can become a long-lasting battle with grief and
pain. This process involves both emotional and behavioural reactions. It takes us through
the initial response of shock and sadness, through acceptance and understanding, and
eventually to acquiring new perspectives of our lives. This session will help you gain a better
understanding of grief and bereavement and give you some ideas about how you can help
yourself and others through the grieving process.
