Inside Westminster is an academic staff and student-coordinated blogs, articles and videos centred at the University of Westminster. It explores and deciphers the intricacies of contemporary local and global issues while elucidating student perspectives. This is an opportunity for Undergraduates, MA and Ph.D. students to post their thoughts on current affairs and take part in discussions. Inside Westminster is more than a blog; it is a multifaceted network that enables the inter-connectivity of students. We would like to invite you to write, connect, leave a topic to discuss, or even share information on events/seminar locations on this online student forum. We meet every Wednesdays between 2-4 pm to review and edit blogs and articles and further develop the connections we make with each other through the weekly meetings.
Inside Westminster is a Democratic Education Network (DEN) initiative. DEN facilitates dialogue and the sharing of knowledge between students, academics, international universities and diasporic communities in London. Home to a range of funded and student-led projects, the DEN provides pathways for local and global participation, experience in field research, workshops, short courses, workshops and conferences. The Network’s international university and NGO links enable students to learn in a global environment and to share knowledge with practitioners, both in London and abroad in locations such as Tashkent, Bangkok, Hanoi, Istanbul and Lima. Dedicated to the proposition that democracy could mean so much more and especially in education, DEN works with students who want practical experience, community groups who have practitioner expertise and international universities working on issues on democracy. DEN projects share knowledge, enable participants and develop employment-enhancing democratic skills.
