Common Purpose Global Citizenship Course

17th March to 29th April
Take part in an exclusive cross-university programme equipping the next generation of citizens to advocate for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals

Common Purpose is a global leadership organization devoted to developing leaders who can cross boundaries. Both at work and in society. Each year, they run a leadership development programme for Universities across the world, with strictly limited places. This year, they would like to offer spaces to 20 students from Manchester Met through Rise.

Here is what they say about their programme:

Common Purpose is a global not-for-profit with 30+ years’ experience developing inclusive leaders who can cross boundaries. Our programmes are highly experiential, exposing students to different perspectives, places, organisations and challenges – often at a global scale. Underpinned by robust methodologies, thought leadership and learning frameworks, we give thousands of students every year the skills and experiences to become leaders who can make an impact – at work and in society.

As a result of this programme, you will be able to :

  • identify and commit to taking action on one SDG
  • collaborate with a diverse group of peers from universities across the world
  • develop the skills to work with your peers to advance your shared goals create action and implementation plans to work on your goal after the programme ends
  • gain the Global Citizenship micro-credential
  • demonstrate to employers that you have the skills to effect complex change.

This three-week blended learning journey consists of synchronous and asynchronous components and a
Common Purpose Global Citizenship micro-credential.
