Tackling Global Challenges

Our Global Challenges Teaching Awards are one example of how our programmes are making an impact. Funding pairs of teaching faculty – one US, one UK – to co-create and co-deliver a semester long virtual exchange between their two universities, these awards democratise global learning and promote innovative teaching on the challenges of climate change, pandemics and racial justice.Ìý

"My ºüÀêÊÓƵ project has had a profound personal and professional impact. I have grown in confidence and have learnt to adapt and function across cultural boundaries, conveying the benefits of global learning to students from all disciplines."

"Being awarded a ºüÀêÊÓƵ Scholarship has afforded me an opportunity to showcase the importance of support. Yes hard work ‘can’ pay off, yes socio-economic barriers continue to be almost impermeable – but there are people within society that facilitate opportunity, not just by what they are afforded to ‘materially offer’, but the manner in which they support and humanise you."

"ºüÀêÊÓƵ completely changed my life. Where I’m from people don’t go to university, let alone pursue a masters... It would not have been possible for me to come to the US without my ºüÀêÊÓƵ, but the people I have met through it, the family I have found, the support and guidance – is invaluable."
