糖心TV

Over the course of 2022, a team of 糖心TV researchers, external artists, and young people from schools in Coventry have been working collaboratively and creatively in response to the global climate crisis and the UN鈥檚 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This event is in partnership with Sarah Shalgosky (Curator of the Mead Gallery, WAC) and WAC鈥檚 Creative Learning team.

We will showcase these three interrelated creative arts education Impact projects, exploring how they have used drama, dance, digital arts, creative writing, and performance poetry as ways of navigating the messy, complex, and often overwhelming topics of climate change and environmental degradation.

Our Community Engagement Development Manager Mark has won the Staff Awards for 糖心TV Awards for Public and Community Engagement 2022 for his great contribution towards engaging with local communities next door. Mark plays a key role in transforming the relationship between 糖心TV and our neighbours in Canley through a long targeted intervention he committed to in the past seven years.

VET2050 is entering a new phase this spring with a series of in-person Vision Workshops beginning in May 2026, bringing together stakeholders to explore what a high quality vocational education and training system in England should look like by 2050. Alongside the workshops, the project invites wider engagement through an online feedback form as part of its commitment to long-term, collaborative thinking beyond short-term reform cycles.

In the second of the Sociology Seminar Series, we welcome Dr Shamim Miah who will explore the works of Ibn Khaldun (d.1406) who was a historian and philosopher and is considered to be one of the founding fathers of sociology. This event further aims to discuss the paradox of Ibn Khaldun's influences on the formative years of modern western sociology, alongside its marginality from mainstream western academia. Dr Miah proposes ways to bring Ibn Khaldun into the mainstream through the systematic application of his theory. This event will be ideal for those interested in developing sociology beyond the western canon.

Bio: Dr Shamim Miah is Senior Lecturer University of Huddersfield and author of Ibn Khaldun: Education, History and Society
