How are universities nurturing respect and understanding?

* 1. The ACU - with support from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office - is collating examples of how universities are already promoting and supporting respect and understanding among staff and / or students and the wider community.

If your university is currently (or has been) active in promoting the shared values outlined here, please share an example of this. This could be any activity or initiative that has taken place at your institution, which demonstrates how your institution is helping to support and promote respect between staff, students, or the local community. If you have any images to illustrate your university's initiative, please email these to membership@acu.ac.uk (they must be in jpeg or png format, and of a high enough quality to use on our website).

Previous examples have included the provision of comparative world religion courses in the curriculum, mandatory internship programmes for students and staff to give back to the community, and using technology to facilitate intercultural exchanges. Read past case studies here

In 250 words maximum, please can you provide an overview of the initiative? Please include any details about why the initiative was needed, how it promoted and supported respect, who champions it, what has worked / not worked and what it has achieved so far, along with any indicators / measures of success.

NB your example may be selected for publication on the ACU website and included in further campaigning activity.
