We have seen kindness\u00a0 and service excellence everywhere at BU this week. Our Random Acts of Kindness\u00a0week has included free donuts to students in our halls of residences, and a visit by the Anthony Nolan Trust to sign up Life saving\u00a0Heroes to help save lives.\u00a0 Another highlight of the week – the CEL student co-creation awards and seeing\u00a0Max Schultz, Faculty of Management\u00a0BABS student collect his certificate and cheque.\u00a0 Max\u00a0is working with Lois Farquharson and Susanne Clarke,\u00a0\u00a0to develop a\u00a0kindness\u00a0project\u00a0looking at embedding a kindness culture with higher education.<\/p>\n

The kindness group – an informal group of staff from across BU with an interest in promoting kindness have been busy preparing for our BU\u00a0Kindness Summit on the 14th February in the EBC. This all day event inspired by the Service Excellence Conference in April 17, will bring together academic staff, professional support staff and students who share an interest in making an impact through kindness.<\/p>\n

So far we are delighted to be able to include research and professional practice\u00a0topics from academics across BU aligned with promoting kindness. Topics include developing toolkits in the social care sector, kindness as a brand value, kindness and happiness in increasingly digital environments, and we will also be\u00a0showcasing our \u00a0student co-creation work.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Helen Palmer,\u00a0 Culture and Sport Lead in Student Services will talk about the\u00a0impact of our Random\u00a0Acts of Kindness week.\u00a0 We are also hoping to invite some well know thought leaders to our\u00a0event too.<\/p>\n

Dr Carole Pound and Dr Caroline Ellis-Hill will be leading workshops to explore how humanising\u00a0frameworks can be adapted for higher education across disciplines and consider how\u00a0 approaches taken by programmes\u00a0 within HSS can be applied\u00a0to\u00a0other programmes across BU to improve student and staff experiences.\u00a0 This workshop will be inspiring and guaranteed to lift your spirits.<\/p>\n

Other surprises for the day will include themes such as an introduction to\u00a0Ubuntu philosophy – human kindness.\u00a0 As well a chance to learn something new and appropriate to valentines day.<\/p>\n

If you would like to share your\u00a0area of interest, research, learning and teaching, practice or \u00a0life experiences within the context of kindness, please do get in touch with Susanne Clarke, Lois Farquharson, or\u00a0Lee-Ann Fenge, we would love you to join us.<\/p>\n

Booking pages to come along to this event will be live soon<\/p>\n

Best wishes<\/p>\n
