Student development
Students from all disciplines will be encouraged to attend the lectures and debates to help them gain a broad understanding of the world. Taking part will support the development of students’ personal, learning and thinking skills and they will be encouraged to formulate their own ideas about topics, contribute to discussions and ask questions.
NewVIc+ is part of the global citizen framework and the programme will aim to stimulate students’ interests in topics for their research project. Attendance at the lectures will contribute towards the NewVIc Bacc as a personal challenge.
