BGU Ambassadors Discuss International Business during Embassy Visit
Staff and students from the Business (Team Entrepreneurship) course at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) were invited to visit the Finnish and Hungarian Embassies in London to discuss opportunities to promote international business initiatives. Chris Jackson, Senior Lecturer and Team Coach on the TE programme, received an invitation from the Finnish Embassy via the regional Honorary Finnish Consul, Camilla Carlbom-Flinn, who is keen to promote the ongoing relationships that BGU’s Business and Enterprise team have built with Finnish organisations. Chris was joined on the visit by his academic colleague Pete Tasi along with students Daria Pipczyenka and Chris Sandham. The main topic of discussion was promoting the forthcoming Team 4 Learning (T4L) event that will be hosted at BGU next February. T4L is an international event that brings together students, team coaches and alumni connected with the Team Academy (Tiimiakatemia) programme (which forms the basis of BGU’s TE course). For next year’s event the team at BGU are planning to broaden the scope to include organisations who are now using Team Academy methods in their everyday business practice. The BGU visitors were received at the Embassy by Special Advisor Minttu Taajamo, who also invited colleagues from the Anglo-Finnish Chamber of Commerce and Business Finland. For Chris the trip offered an exciting opportunity to see representatives from BGU involved at the heart of international cooperation: “Daria and Chris did a first class job as ambassadors for BGU, and represented us well at the Embassy. This was an incredible learning opportunity for them. The Embassy were very supportive and we now need to continue discussions with them to see exactly what this support could look like in practice and how we might be able to collaborate further.” While in London, BGU’s ambassadors were also able to visit the Hungarian Embassy where they met with the Science and Technology attache, who was a colleague of Pete Tasi at the Budapest Business School. A Hungarian national, Pete has joined BGU for a year, to work on both the BA (Hons) Team Entrepreneurship and BA (Hons) Business courses. Pete discussed the positive impact this meeting could have on both the students involved and the wider BGU community: “We encourage our students to get out and meet prospects and build active networks, so it seemed crazy not to make the most of this opportunity and show them the potential of real networking. "We explained about the nature and scope of our work at BGU and it looks as if there are opportunities for us to collaborate further, which is pretty exciting. We already have an invitation to return and meet with some Hungarian start-ups based in the UK at an event organised by the Embassy.” If you’re interested in a future in international business or in starting your own company, our business courses are the perfect path to take. You can find more information on them on our website or by contacting our Enquiries Team. Better yet, why not attend one of our Open Days and experience BGU first hand? -

International Health Expert Looks Forward to Working with BGU
A leading healthcare expert from Australia led two research seminars for staff at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln on Wednesday and is looking forward to future collaborations. Amanda Kenny is Professor of Rural and Regional Nursing at La Trobe Rural Health School, La Trobe University in Bendigo near Melbourne. Her seminars looked at how to build a strong research culture and how co-production can improve understandings in mental health. Co-production is defined as the development of services through equal partnerships between those who deliver services and those who use them. Global mental health policy identifies the need to involve consumers in all stages of healthcare design, delivery and evaluation. “We are very pleased this week to welcome Professor Kenny, who is a world-renowned researcher in mental health and cancer,” said Dr Graham Basten, Head of the School of Social Sciences at BGU. “We recently launched a suite of health and social care courses to complement our counselling and psychology programmes. I am delighted as Professor Kenny is keen to work with BGU and contribute to the research drive to enhance publications, grants and international collaborations in health and social care and with multidisciplinary teams across BGU. “Most importantly our work is in co-production with service users and will make a difference to local communities.” Professor Kenny is widely published internationally and is frequently invited as a key speaker at national and international conferences. Next week she will be chairing a conference on health and social care at the University of Cambridge. -

BGU International partnership continue to forge connections in China
This week, Wayne Dyble (International Manager) and Dr Steven Puttick (Head of Programmes for Secondary, FE, and Research Education in the School of Teacher Development) from Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) travelled to China to build on the Institution’s international partnerships. The visit centred on time with colleagues at Chongqing University of Education (school.cuecc.com/chongqing/cque). Located in the South West of China, Chongqing is an exciting city known as the Mountain City, the Misty City, and the City of Lights. It has experienced rapid growth, and the central area alone hosts a population greater than London. The latest trip by Dr Puttick and Wayne Dyble comes after colleagues from the Chongqing University of Education’s school of Teacher Development visited BGU last year. Dr Puttick was pleased to see the partnership not only solidifying, but growing in strength: “It is very exciting to see this partnership flourishing, and we are grateful for the generous hospitality extended to us by CQUE colleagues. We have many shared interests in teacher development and TESOL, and there is a great deal we can learn from each other. We are looking forward to realising our joint ambitions to enhance and internationalise student experience and research through collaboration.” International manager Wayne Dyble was also delighted to see BGU’s reputation further expanding across the region: “Partnerships are key to BGU’s growing international reputation, and we now have well-established relationships with Chongqing University of Education. We are delighted to have made excellent progress on this visit, including agreeing an exciting programme of student exchange which will provide some outstanding opportunities, and enrich the diversity and international outlook of our students and institutions.” BGU have a global outlook on education, and our courses offer unprecedented opportunities to Teach & Travel.
