Description

University College Cork and Munster Technological University were pleased to present “Hope Summit: (Re)Imagining Higher Education”. This event was an opportunity for those working in Higher Education to collaboratively explore their future landscapes in the context of emerging challenges and opportunities. With a keynote address from Jessica Riddell, author of Hope Circuits: Rewiring Universities and other Systems for Human Flourishing, the event included a range of powerful voices from across the HE sector.

Focusing on discussions centred on emerging leadership challenges for future-ready institutions, the role of arts and culture in strategic visioning and systems transformation, and emancipatory integration of all key players in the ‘flourishing’ mission of universities, this event was designed to be both provocative and inclusive. Through panels sessions, lightning talks, and hands-on workshops the day afforded hope-informed, facilitated quality time to network across the sector while hearing from a range of voices and perspectives.
