I See Myself x Grit: Black Leaders one-day Workshop 

We know students juggle busy schedules, so this one-day workshop keeps things simple - maximising impact with minimal disruption.


We are offering students a £15 GiftPay voucher for attending and completing feedback because we appreciate your time investment in this workshop!


Sign up here for this workshop!

This event is designed specifically for Black UoL Students and is delivered by Grit: Breakthrough Programmes, in partnership with the University of Leeds and 'I See Myself'. Students will receive a certification on completion of the programme. 

This workshop is a real opportunity for you to connect with other Black students in a safe space, to discuss your university experience and to harness your collective energy to navigate and create success during your studies and beyond.

At Grit, we break the cycles of ‘deficit’ thinking, the assumptions that there is something wrong, the focus on what is lacking or missing, the reasons ‘why not’.

Our starting point with each individual is your strengths and talents, your passions and interests, your ‘assets’. We focus on what it takes for each individual to achieve and thrive, and to become the best they possibly can.

Delivered by our highly skilled Black trainers, this workshop provides Black Students with a safe space to:

  • Explore and celebrate your identity, talents and skills
  • Connect to your community of Black students with similar lived experiences, and amplify feelings of belonging and connection
  • Reflect on your current challenges, and explore new approaches to overcome them
  • Increase levels of confidence
  • Build supportive mechanisms which can be sustained during and beyond your university experience
  • Develop leadership and advocacy skills


Please note: Sign up to participate in this workshop. Please contact Emma: Emma@grit.org.uk if you have any questions!
