Incubating Talent, Empowering Voices
How do we harness and grow the talent of Global Campus graduates? Identifying the Global Campus’ blog, Human Rights Preparedness, as a potential tool, it founder GC Europe Chairperson Thérèse Murphy, designed a paid, competitive training scheme that would allow alumni to design and publish blogposts under the expert guidance of a mentor.
What Benefits Has the Regional Correspondenc Scheme Brought to our Alumni?
Mentoring Alumni to Advocate for Human Rights through Writing
Dr. Rosie Cowan, a former Guardian journalist and now an academic at Queen’s University Belfast—one of the GC partner universities—has mentored over 15 selected graduates for the past four years, guiding them in writing about key issues affecting their regions. “The opportunity to learn from a seasoned journalist and contribute to the Human Rights Preparedeness blog was incredibly appealing. It offered a unique platform to combine my work in promoting human rights for all and my desire to write.”
