Global Perspectives

Welcome to Lead Event 4

What is going to happen today? We have invited a speaker who has done some interesting things in her life. You will be asked to guess what she has done. Why are we doing this? Because we want you to consider what your personal goals are and what contributions you can make in the future. Where is this leading? We hope that you will reflect on these examples and be inspired to take the initiative to campaign for a change in your own environment.

What’s next in Global Perspectives?

We want you to get engaged in a cause that is close to your heart. It does not have to be political or charitable. It can be about any kind of change you’d like to see in your environment.

THINK OF A PROJECT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROMOTE TO IMPROVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT, AND BRING YOUR IDEAS TO YOUR SEMINAR.

What contribution can you (yes, you!) make to your community, your environment, your university?

You will have to collectively select and develop the best ideas to present at the next Lead Event, which will be taking place on Monday 26th November.

This event will be The Initiatives Fair. There will be stands at which you can present your projects and proposals. Each of you will have the opportunity to sign up to whatever initiatives interest you.

We are working with the Student Union and Student Services to make your ideas come to life!
