Year in Review: Global Citizenship

Year in Review:

International Women’s Day

To celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day in March 2022, Stephenson College ran a Stephenson Women of the World campaign where staff and students could nominate Stephenson women in College who have made a positive difference to them. Nominations covered a variety of reasons including everyday kindness, consistent support, meaningful contributions and inspiring work. You can view our Women of the World Instagram takeover featuring portraits of many of our nominees via @stephenson_college now! We were able to come together as a College to celebrate their achievements at our dedicated IWD Formal on Thursday 11 March with guest speaker Chi Onwurah, MP for Newcastle-uponTyne Central.

The North East of England is a place of big adventures, breath taking beauty and a strong cultural heritage and we want to ensure that all Stephenson College students have the chance to enjoy it.

Global Citizenship

Mexico Winter Research School

Many current Stephenson students have been involved in delivering the fun and informative sessions, including the ever-popular Stephenson Pub Quiz!

Project Kenten i2e Masterclass Series

Stephenson College was proud to partner with DU Business School and Regional Maritime University - Ghana to deliver a British Council funded virtual masterclass series throughout November and December 2021.

Over a hundred students from Stephenson, the wider DU community and RMU – Ghana participated in the masterclasses, exploring problems facing agri-business in Ghana from a logistics perspective and working on real life viable solutions, putting theory into practice.

UNC visit

Stephenson College welcomed students from the University of North Carolina in May 2022 as part of their tour around the UK. Principal Professor Rob Lynes and Vice-Principal Katie Stobbs were joined by Michele Thorns, International Officer from Durham County Council to discuss the history of Durham, the County Durham area, identity and Brexit with the group.

Community Connections

Stephenson College launched the Community Connections programme in 2022, which enables Stephenson students to explore and connect with the local community around them. The North East of England is a place of big adventures, breath taking beauty and a strong cultural heritage and we want to ensure that all Stephenson College students have the chance to enjoy it. Students have enjoyed trips to BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, The Auckland Project, Locomotion in Shildon and Beamish Museum. The trips ran during Epiphany and Easter Term 2022 and will be a permanent feature in the College calendar going forward.
