We focus on what it takes for each individual to achieve and thrive, and to become the best they possibly can. We break the cycles of ‘deficit’ thinking, the assumptions that there is something wrong, the focus on what is lacking or missing, the reasons ‘why not’.<a href="https://www.grit.org.uk/students-of-colour" title="https://www.grit.org.uk/students-of-colour" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Find out more about our programmes for Black Students and Students of Colour</a>If you would like to find out more about the opportunity, email emma@grit.org.uk with any questions, and/ or to request a phone call with one of the programme’s trainers.
