Green Templeton flies #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag for Black History Month
Green Templeton College is proud to celebrate Black History Month 2021.
Our #DIFFERENTEQUAL campaign launched in December 2020 to signal the college’s commitment to inclusivity and promoting awareness of racism. As part of this campaign, we will be flying a #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag at the entrance to college throughout October.
The #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag displays the campaign imagery of two hands clasped together in a fist, symbolising a firm, uplifting stance and joint action against racism by all (no matter the shade of skin colour).
#DIFFERENTEQUAL lanyards and label pins are now available at The Lodge.
College members are also invited to explore the Maarifa collection in the library, which celebrates Black history, culture, writers and experiences. The collection of more than 100 books is an initiative spearheaded by Black Students’ Representative Josephine Agyeman-Duah.
Oxford University is also running a series of events for Black History Month. Visit the Black History Month at Oxford webpage for further information on these events and to view resources, further reading and projects.
As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
Congratulations to all of the @gtcball2026 survivors 🪼🫧🪸🧜🌊✨

We had an incredible evening at the Nautilus Ball! @gtcball2026
The Radcliffe Observatory is having a conservation makeover...
Behind the printed wrap is a complex network of poles and platforms, giving specialist teams access to every part of this remarkable building.
The Observatory is now undergoing a new phase of work that combines careful conservation of its historic fabric with major environmental upgrades.
Protecting one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks for generations to come. 🏛️
Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.
