With the support of DEN\u2019s projects, we can provide professional learning experiences and practical work related to students\u2019 fields of study within the department. Our students have been involved in various local communities, such as\u00a0Race on the Agenda<\/u><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/u>HopeTowns.<\/u><\/a><\/p>

Some of our students have also benefitted from mentoring City and Islington College students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

This had a positive impact on students\u2019 learning, as they have had to adapt their communication styles to meet the needs of other staff and students.<\/p>

DEN\u2019s projects help students not only with internships, but also in planning each mentoring session. Through them, students have developed good teamwork skills and learned from the support they provide for each other. Academics and local community workers have played essential roles in ensuring that mentors and mentees feel supported.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0In Najaha Choudhary\u2019s words, second year International Relations Student, \u201cthis placement experience of DEN has helped me immensely. I would recommend students to consider it seriously; it will develop and increase their individual growth, and learn from their lecturers and fellow students\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

DEN\u2019s internship and e-mentoring program has taken a new lead by providing hands-on experience, involving students, alumni and academics with Covid-19. Whilst \u201chands-on\u201d internships have become almost physically impossible while the University is being closed, we have used online platforms to engage with students.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

DEN has decided to use the opportunity positively, providing students with valuable real-world experience, with increased flexibility and freedom. We have started to encourage strong communication and time-management skills by training students with virtual collaboration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
