In a year like no other, the impact of COVID19 has demonstrated just how incredible volunteers are.

On Thursday 7 January 2021, The University’s Institute of Education hosted an online ‘PGCE Generation Readied by Environmental Education Now (GREEN) Conference’, designed to open up discussions on how schools and colleges can take environmental action and enable teachers to develop educational responses to the climate crisis.

On 19 November 2020, as part of ‘Manchester Day of Action’ (a global volunteer activism programme which inspires alumni to undertake social responsibility voluntary work) the University invited 22 alumni from across the Americas (split between north and south) to participate in an online workshop which discussed the fundamental basis of the United Nation’s (UN) charter.

The event began with a touching and informative panel discussion between Dr Jamal Ratchford, Assistant Professor in the Department of History and the Race, Ethnicity, and Migration Studies Program at Colorado College, and former Black 14 Wyoming Cowboys; John Griffin, Mel Hamilton and Tony McGee.

Like everyone, colleagues working in widening participation have faced an extremely challenging year.

2020 has been a difficult year for us all in different ways and really highlighted the importance of supporting and caring for one another.
