Rifts and Shifts

Exploring the rifts and shifts facing society today

As this year’s NCL in Action programme comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who took part and celebrate the incredible impact we’ve made together.

Over the past academic year, over 1,400 alumni, students and colleagues from 33 countries have come together to explore the theme “Rifts and Shifts: Our Changing World”. With support from our event partners at Lloyds Banking Group, Debate Mate, Northumbria University and Newcastle City Council, your enthusiasm, insight and willingness to engage in discussions on global politics, economic certainty, climate change and more has made this our most thought-provoking series yet.

As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue these conversations. Newcastle University’s world-leading research remains at the forefront of tackling many of the issues explored through NCL in Action, and we're already preparing for next year’s programme.
