Overview

Looking at the impact on communities is vital too. Our recent guest speakers have included the Tower Hamlets Council public health team who shared their experience of community health promotion, as well as leaders from Latin America who spoke about political change.

We make the most of our London location with day trips around the city on many modules. Maybe you’ll head to Spitalfields market to examine urban consumption cultures. Or perhaps visit Walthamstow wetlands to see water engineering in action. Travelling to places like Malta, Boston and Belfast, you’ll also meet climate change activists and tech entrepreneurs.
