Global Opportunities Fayre
Venue: Cardiff School of Management, Llandaff campus
Time: 10.00am - 4.00pm
Join the Global Opportunities team on the first day of Global Week where you will be able to speak with the team and meet some of our mobility partners including Challenges Abroad, Think Pacific, BUNAC and Travelteer to find out what amazing opportunities are available to you this academic year.
Studying, working or volunteering abroad whilst at Cardiff Met gives you an amazing opportunity to broaden your personal, academic and cultural horizons.
Undertaking a global opportunity helps you develop transferable skills that are incredibly appealing to employers such as confidence and increased communication skills. You are also likely to become more culturally aware and improve or gain language skills. To top it all off, you will get to experience living in another country, make life-long friendships and you will receive a Global Opportunities digital badge.
Please contact globalopportunities@cardiffmet.ac.uk for any specific queries.

'Beyond being nice': Supporting adult learners who experienced trauma
Venue: Online event, Microsoft Teams for Cardiff Met staff
Time: 1.00pm - 2.00pm
Hosted by Larysa (Lora) Agbaso and Gabriel Roberts (Senior Lecturer in TESOL).
We all have our stories to tell. Forced migration is often deeply connected with trauma that changes the way we live and learn. Teachers are often on the frontline dealing with learners' trauma and often with little training. This webinar is a blend of theory, research, reflections and personal lived experience. The brief introduction of trauma and its signs in the classroom will be followed by some tips on how to apply the trauma-informed model in teaching practice. This can benefit all the learners, not only those who have experienced trauma, especially in the current world.
