What is Grit?

Grit is a charity that works with universities, schools, and professionals. They believe that when you change your thinking, you can change your world.

Their participatory workshops seek to support participants to challenge the way they think, and to improve the outcomes they can achieve. Their starting point is that you already have everything you need to be a thriving and contributing part of your community and they will work with you so that you can see that too. This is an exciting training opportunity unlike any other.

Who is this training for?

Students – undergraduate and postgraduate students of all levels can attend.

How much does it cost?

This development opportunity is fully funded by the University so it’s free for all NTU students to attend.

Where is the training?

Training will be delivered at City Campus on selected dates.
