We think encouraging an early interest in our global community and the roles we can play is vitally important. Last week we had the great pleasure of hosting 60 girls in years 10 and 11 to come and complete the Smallpeice Trust Humanitarian Engineering Residential.

Mike Penrose, Executive Director for Unicef UK recently wrote a blog entry for the Huffington Post Entitled “In Yemen, Another Generation Is Being Lost To Conflict”. Shockingly it highlights almost half a million children in Yemen are facing the harsh reality of being stripped of their chance for education due to the conflict.

This topic is explored more in our Humanitarian Law module taught by Professor Andrew Williams, School of Law.
