Last half term all students were involved in Social Action Projects with the aim to make a difference in the community, whether this be the college community or the community of Cambridge.
Each tutor group planned individual projects these included selling noodles, creating a volunteer task force, and collecting donations for local charity shops just to name a few. The students showed maturity in their approach to their projects, electing project managers who ensured all students had a role, and working together as a team.
It was fantastic to see so many students having the confidence to stand up in front of their peers to share their plans and demonstrating great communication skills.
Comments from students about their Social Action Project
“I now realise how easy and rewarding it is to really help others! This project will undoubtedly lead to more social action from my part.”
“I developed social skills during this project being able to communicate with new people that I did not know before this project.”
“We can make a difference through little activities in a simple but effective way. It is unforgettable that we are able to contact with charity and fundraisers as students in the UK.”
“Working for free is also working on yourself and you can make a difference”
