LEEDS Trinity University has been selected to host the Association of Commonwealth Universities Summer School in 2022.
Working in partnership with the ACU, Leeds Trinity will be responsible for organising the annual Summer School.
During the event, which was established in 2011, students from participating Commonwealth Universities will have the chance to discuss multi-disciplinary issues of global importance, with a different theme each year.
A key aim of the School is to mix local, regional, and international students with peers who may not otherwise have had an opportunity to leave their region. Students have participated from organisations across the world including Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Cameroon, Fiji, India, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
The 2022 ACU Summer School will have the theme Sport and regeneration: Driving sustainability, community and wellbeing, coinciding with the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The event will feature talks by leading international speakers, group projects, networking opportunities, intercultural sessions and skills development.
