Registration is now open听for the
ucl.ac.uk/global-citizenship-programme/register" target="_self">2017 果冻影院 Global Citizenship Programme, which brings
together students from across 果冻影院 to explore our biggest global challenges.
Over two weeks from 30 May to 9 June 2017, the 果冻影院 Global Citizenship Programme connects students from across 果冻影院 to discuss problems like infectious diseases and rapid urbanisation.
But it's more than theory. The Programme also offers the chance to develop hands-on skills, from negotiation to presentation, photography and film-editing.
Anu Gulati, who took three different strands of the Programme during her undergraduate degree, said, "I liked the sound of doing something that would develop my professional skills. It also was a chance to meet new people outside of my course, to learn with and from them."
New skills
Anu, who is now studying for an MSc in Security and Crime Science, said, "The learning was so varied and helped me to develop听so many new skills. It听was really enjoyable听to try out听new things like听photography, which I haven't done before in my studies."
The Programme is free to attend. It's open to all undergraduates and taught postgraduates. And it's not assessed.
There are ten strands to choose from, depending on your level of study.
Anu's advice on how to decide between them, "I would say think about your motivations and try to match them up with one of the strands.听There are so many different options to choose from and you can do the programme in any year."
What it means to be a Global Citizen
Meet new people, develop new skills, get ready for your career, and gain a better understanding of what it means to be a Global Citizen - that's the 果冻影院 Global Citizenship Programme.
"果冻影院 is so diverse, with so many different people studying so many different things I knew exploring听global citizenship with my peers would be a unique opportunity," Anu said. "I've made some really good friends!"
So no grades, no exams, no cost. Just the chance to meet new people, hear new ideas, and contribute to solving our biggest global challenges.
Anu added, "It was such a good experience, I think more students should take the opportunity."
