Kindness on Campus Awards 2021
To celebrate World Kindness Day 2021, the Community Values Education Programme launched the Kindness on Campus Awards. All too often kindness is undervalued yet even small acts have the power to overcome differences, break down prejudice, and bring us closer together as a community.
The awards were judged by Professor Chris Ennew and Kulbir Shergill and the winners were:
Caroline Jawdoszak (WMS) - staff award
Caroline Rushingwa (PAIS) student award
Thank you to all those who nominated others for an award and to the award winners and commendees for making our campus a kinder place. Find out more about our winners and commendees here.
Kindness Cards
Kindness Cards are a great way to promote kindness as a key tenet of our Respect at Warwick agenda.
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted" Aesop

How to Use Kindness Cards
- Think kind - Consider some creative ways to be kind to others.
- Be kind - Do your act of kindness (anonymously if you like), leaving a kindness card
- Spread kindness - The recipient of the card is encouraged to re-use the card to undertake an act of kindness themselves.
If you've received an act of kindness, take a photo or share your experience via social media using #KindWarwick and re-use the card to deliver a kindness.
