Global Shared Learning Programme: Classroom 2024 MEX-UK
The water@leeds team would like to invite PGRs to participate in the 'Clean Water and Sanitation' Global Shared Learning: Classroom 2024 programme led by Tecnologico de Monterrey Mexico.
This initiative is open to PGR students interested in developing their global citizen skills. The programme is aligned with the University of Leeds vision of being a truly international university with global reach and impact.
The Global Classroom programme gives PGRs the opportunity to collaborate in a hybrid setting with Civil Engineering undergraduate students (6th semester), from Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Guadalajara in Mexico. There will be an opportunity to meet in person visiting researchers and students from Tecnologico de Monterrey.
We have reserved 20 spots for University of Leeds students. If you are interested in participating, we kindly ask you to register here by 12:00 Friday 19th April 2024.
