JP Morgan Life Skills Training Day

Are you interested in working with the local community in Roehampton?


Do you have a passion for volunteering?


Have you always wanted to set up projects with your own personal touch?




Here’s a chance for you to combine all those things in one exciting Life Skills project which will enable you to develop skills for employment and engage with local young people! This project is sponsored by JP Morgan, and delivered with the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) and Queen Mary University (QMU).


This project, open to students who are the first in their family to go to University, aims to develop:

> your skills in communication, teamwork and problem solving

> your own projects, based on your interests, which will engage and motivate local young people

> your understanding, skills and approaches for project planning and community development



Our first training event features two workshops and will be an exciting opportunity to meet other students who have or will sign up to the project.



The first workshop will be a hands-on exercise where you will get to test your communication and teamwork skills. You will get to work in groups and compete with other teams … using pasta! Confused? Come along and you’ll see what we have in store for you. The second workshop will feature local charity Regenerate, which will give you an idea of what kinds of projects you can get involved in with the local community. Check out the short films of their projects that they’ll be screening!

The MA/MRes in Performance & Creative Research is a one-year programme at the University of Roehampton providing the opportunity to engage in performance as an interdisciplinary and connective practice, spanning the fields of live art, theatre, dance, visual art, site-specific and lens-based practices. Exploring performance and research as twin paradigms for creative practice, artists take on the challenges of an inter-related set of practical methods and critical approaches.

Making a Difference: Graduate Conference

Making a Difference: A Graduate Conference

10am – 5pm, Friday 7 June 2013, the Portrait Room, Froebel College, University of Roehampton.

We cordially invite all students and staff from the Research Community at the University of Roehampton to the Roehampton Research Student Conference 2013.

This interdisciplinary research student conference aims to bring together the diverse range of research taking place at Roehampton's Graduate School and the effects it intends to make.

Throughout all university departments there is an increasing focus on demonstrating the effects of research for wider scrutiny. The difference that early-career researchers hope to make, and can show they can make, is of central concern both to the success of the researcher and to the wider university. This raises pressing questions, and common connections, between research students at the threshold of contributing their work to academia, industry or public life. What goals or transformations do we seek to bring about? How can these be measured, and what problems are presented therein? Why do we seek to contribute this research, and what differences do we hope to see within our fields?

Would you like to attend the Graduate Conference to see Roehampton’s finest research students present their work?Then please register using the link below:

There will be 14 excellent presentations, academic panel members, tea, coffee, wine and a free lunch – the event is surely not to be missed.

(Note: YOU WILL NEED TO REGISTER to confirm your attendance as this is a FREE event which includes lunch and an evening wine reception). Please click on the following link to book your place https://www2.roehampton.ac.uk/research-conference/

This event will only be available for another 19 days.
Event Dated: Friday 17 May 2013.
