Welcome to our One Degree community

Hello community members of One Degree. I hope 2016 is off to a flying start for you!

With our One Degree 2016 now well underway I thought I would use this newsletter opportunity to tell you a bit more about the students on the programme, what we have planned and why joining us on this particular programme may one of the most rewarding journeys we have undertaken.

Our current student cohort has 53 students from 16 different countries proving that One Degree is truly rich with diversity. Over our 15 sessions, running from January until June, we will be challenging these young adults with academics and personal development. This happens both directly and indirectly throughout the programme with help from our mentors, guest speakers, teachers and alumni.

As we begin our time in this new part of London, bringing with it challenges and opportunities, we are eager to learn as well as teach. But from leaving our comfort zone in north west London we can also find out the strength and potential of our ever developing charity.

Even if you are not able to mentor with us this year, please do drop by the say hello, spread the word, wear your One Degree wristband, or simply read this newsletter. Every little bit helps as small changes turn into meaningful impact.

Best wishes,

Roger Wynne-Dyke
CEO, One Degree

January mentor training

Hult International Business School in Holbron was again the host for our mentor training sessions. Our two evening sessions in January provided new and current mentors with tips, techniques and scenarios for making the most of mentoring with One Degree, and working effectively with our young adults.

For those of you that missed these sessions and would like to participate in future sessions please get in touch so we can get advance sign ups and schedules planned.

Launch day - 16 January 2016

With the help of some collaborating youth facilitators our launch session was all about getting to know our students, organising some leadership and trust games, and having fun. The team for the day then introduced one another in a rather comical way involving funny facts about each other. It was then time for some serious Maths and English assessment tests.

Thank you to Tops Pizzas for the sponsored lunch time nourishment!

Mentoring day 1 - 23 January 2016

After some fun on our launch day it was time for business. Kicking off with a Maths session, Rudi and Nadeem and 16 mentors worked through a day of numbers. On hand we had several past students from Newman Catholic College in Brent.
