Details

Our starting point with each individual is your strengths and talents, your passions and interests, your ‘assets’. 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’.

The workshop is an opportunity for you to:

Explore and celebrate your identity; unlock talents and skills required by Healthcare, Business and Law Regulatory bodies

Increase levels of confidence
Amplify feelings of belonging and connection
Build supportive mechanisms which can be sustained during and beyond your university experience as well as on placements
Become resilient leaders and boost your career chances

This is a real opportunity for you to connect with other African and African Caribbean heritage students, in a safe space, to discuss your university experience and to harness your collective energy to navigate and create success during your studies and beyond.

Watch these short films from Exeter students and Abdul-Fasaz about their participation on the Black Leader programme.

Reminder: you will need to attend for the full duration of both days of the workshop.
