University of Leeds Intercultural Ambassadors Intercultural Ambassadors are student volunteers who create opportunities for people to experience different cultures on campus and in the community. This year, 45 international and UK students from 20 different countries and all study levels received specialised training to enhance their intercultural awareness and project management skills. You can experience the results by coming along to their events during World Unite Festival. They will also be running events with schools and community partners in February and March. If you want to gain intercultural insights, employability skills and make new friends while inspiring others to get the most out of being part of our global community, why not consider applying to next year’s programme? Recruitment will start in October 2016. To find out more about what it’s like to volunteer, visit globalcommunity.leeds.ac.uk/ambassadors or speak to one of this year’s Ambassadors at their events. The Intercultural Ambassadors Programme was developed with funding from the Higher Education Academy and is run with support from Santander Universities.
