T
he University of Hull Go Connect Network
sees every student as international.
Through engagement and participation in
the Going Global Network students will
emerge with a Global Perspective that will
develop their ability to operate effectively across
cultures and increase their employability prospects
through a rich enhancement of the Student Experience. Go Connect will provide students to have a
global experience whilst studying at the University
of Hull, to enjoy their time here and become a part
of a larger Global Community.
Go Connect will not only provide unique cultural
exchange & integration events across campus but
provide students with a portfolio of Global focused
initiatives that are currently active in other areas of
the institution which are accessible for them to
participate. Through a combined, holistic approach Go Connect will bring together service
areas of the institution and departments to create
a Global Community on site which encourages
Global Learning and a Global outlook.
Every year we provide unique and exciting opportunities for students to Go Global. By hosting a
variety of different cultural events that celebrate
international festivals, showcase national traditions and enable
students to learn about other cultures we
create a fun and interact environment for
students to make friends and learn on a global level.
Our events focus around enabling all students to be more culturally aware of other
students and see the benefits of not only
making new friends but being able to explore
new ways of learning. Through interaction
between international students we believe
that individuals are able to approach a challenge or task with a different perspective,
due to learning how other international students engage with a given stimuli. As every
culture has different ways of learning there
are many different levels of participation and
interaction which may appear strange or
different to other people. By taking part in
our events, whether that’s on a social part or
educational, we are able to highlight to you
the cultural variations of learning and enable
students to become more Global.
