Global Citizenship Forum 2019
The second Global Citizenship Forum was hosted by Durham University 8 – 11 July 2019 at St John’s College, on the theme of Empowering Learners.
Watch the video here:
What role should students play in shaping their own education? What structures and environments in higher education encourage student empowerment? Can students be both consumers and co-creators of their University experience? These were among the questions discussed at the Forum, as participants shared experiences, challenges and best practice from across the Matariki Network of Universities.
Each day focused on a different sub-theme, culminating in a day conference open to the public.
- 8 July 2019 Empowering learners through student support & wellbeing
- 9 July 2019 Empowering learners through the wider student experience
- 10 July 2019 Empowering learners in the classroom: education & student unions
- 11 July 2019 Empowering learners – reflections from across the Matariki Network (Public Conference)
Watch the forum’s attendees discuss their experiences with global citizenship and Durham:
