Location: Online
Please note this event is for Members onlyIn this session we heard from two working group members about their practices to generate discussion and how these might inform work in our own institutions. Ellie Johnson from the University of Leeds focused on a project called ‘Leeds Futures’, which is a nationwide programme for sixth form students, aimed primarily at those who meet the University’s widening participation criteria. This 18-month initiative is delivered in a hybrid format, combining both in-person and online activities. Andy Adam from University of East Anglia (UEA) talked about The Black Humanities Project a partnership between the UEA Outreach Team and current students studying arts and humanities courses. The aim of the project is to inspire young people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds to consider a future in arts and humanities.
