  4. Café Politique

  5. Café Pol: Team communication

  6. Team humour (this is ok) (I think)

  7. Café Pol: Audience interest

  8. Any suggestions? • Core team • Ustinov Community • Durham University • Beyond academia? • (eg. Miners Association; international judges; etc.) • The world sees how avant-garde Ustinov is? • Broadening horizons? Café Pol: Broader significance?

  9. Context: Volunteering weekend • Audience: postgraduate students, many at the Business School • Aims: draw attention to the fundamental values (linked to human rights) that increasingly underpin the global workplace • Practical outcome: highlight employability attributes Activity: Fundamental values

  10. Get your smartphones out and make sure you can get online. • Find someone in the room who you do not know and pair up with them • I will give you the names of some big employers Activity: Fundamental values

  11. Find the corporate social responsibility/ethics/code of conduct documents and take note of their ‘company values’. • Discuss how this relates to the company’s employees • Can you identify any differences in how you interpret ‘values’? Task #1

  12. Find a job advert (any) from that company, and look for references (direct or indirect) to values that the company expects its employees to uphold. • Discuss the ambiguities you encountered in understanding those values • Why do we interpret ‘values’ differently? Task #2

  13. So what did you come up with? Feedback to the group

  14. What kind of activities would you suggest to enable global citizenship extracurricular awareness in a PG environment like ours (or of your own institutions?) Any suggested activities?

  15. Why student-led and not college-led? ???????

  16. Final questions and comments? Questions?
