Global Hope – My Place in the World

Wednesday, 10 October 2018 , 1pm
FML014 (Hope Park)

Speaker: Wendy Bignold with various Hope staff and students

In this talk, students and staff reflect on how their participation in Global Hope projects this summer have shaped their understanding of their place in the world. Living as part of a community in Uganda, India or Sri Lanka this summer, Global Hope participants have been able to experience different lifestyles in different places, but also different notions of community and family. Students and staff will speak about their personal experiences and how these have developed their own ideas of what it means to ‘belong’.
