We are really excited about a new student group that has formed recently and has been organising events for all students. Here’s what they have to say…
‘Global Community* aims to enhance the lives of Sheffield Hallam students of every nationality and ethnic background by embracing diversity and
instigating multicultural interactions through the organisation of social events ranging from vibrant festivities to monthly networking events.
We host monthly networking events with culture-related themes to serve as a cultural immersion and global networking platform. Fun diversity-based icebreakers, interactive games and group activities will be the heart of the events. We aim to offer surprises in every event. We also organise workshops on cultural awareness and other activities.
We have successfully held three popular social events for Culture Connect mentoring scheme including a Christmas event and New Year celebration. And we also organised an information event for Go Global Week. We have lots more exciting events throughout the ye
ar too. Our next Culture Connect event is:
