A partnership between seven universities, including Greenwich, enables the RE:Action 24/7 programme to provide training on inspirational themes, such as ‘Accepting who you are and harnessing your diversity’ and ‘Cultivating a winning mindset and building resilience’.
With a mix of talks from aspirational and representative figures, workshops and reflection sessions, employer-led Q&As and access to a wealth of resources, the programme promotes a sense of belonging, increased confidence, and access to equality of opportunity for over 3,000 students from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
