Photo Frenzy

 We had to have two groups as winners this year, as it was just too hard for us to decide, so I am proud to announce that the winners of London Photo Frenzy are Groups 1 and 8.

All the photos were wonderful and the International Centre would be delighted to use some of your photos for our website and other publications.

 Learn to Lead

 Learn to Lead is a unique educational programme which aims to enhance the leadership skills of students by offering a comprehensive, challenging and generous training opportunity – delivered in a multi-cultural environment. The success of the seven previous programmes has allowed us to build on our experiences and repeat the programme as a residential weekend at Cumberland Lodge - free of charge to the participants.  The programme runs for three full days; Friday 19 – Sunday 21 February 2010.Students are required to attend the entire three-day course.  Application deadline 4 December 09.  Please note that Roehampton University is not responsible for this programme and any questions regarding the Learn to Lead programme should go through to am@ish.org.uk
