Power for Impact
Date: Monday 4th November Time: 6-8pm
As part of Belfast Design Week, join us for a screening of the UTV Documentary, Not In My Generation.
This documentary followed a group of young people from Belfast alongside Queen’s postgraduate students as they participated in the Graduate School’s IMPACT Global Challenge with R-City Belfast. The programme ran across January – June 2019 and included a 2-week challenge set in Cape Town, South Africa. The team met with a further group of young leaders in Cape Town, Bonteheuwel to co-design solutions to a range of social challenges, drawing on experiences from their own communities and across multi-disciplinary research areas.
Queen’s Graduate School will be launching a new IMPACT Local Challenge, working with Project Partner R-City to co-design a follow-on project. Join us to hear about how design is supporting those engaged to make an impact in their local communities and the world around them.
Hustle 9 Meet Up
Date: Wednesday 6th November Time: 6:30pm - 9:00pm
Hustle returns for ninth innings (and in their fifth year) to overlap with Belfast Design Week 2019. As ever it's about getting your fix of design inspiration and leaving with some extra, well, hustle!
The format follows tradition with two speakers and welcome drinks. Speakers will be announced soon, but now is your chance to secure your place. We promise they won't disappoint.
Women In Business: Calm Your Mind Yoga
Date: Wednesday 13th November Time: 3:30pm - 5:00pm
We live in a busy modern world and the chances are, in order to keep everything 'ticking over', most of us exert a significant amount of energy into work, projects and other people.
This event is an opportunity for you to take a step back and check-in with yourself. Often most people will put their own health and at the very bottom of a busy 'to - do' list. We hope to address this by providing a gentle yoga class for all abilities.
Energy Institute: Amped Start-Up Competition
