Cultural Programme
During the academic year, Weidenfeld Scholars participate in a number of extra-curricular activities including participating communications and oratorical skills courses, social excursions and cultural events; and taking part, where appropriate, in ISD meetings and conferences such as the annual Club of Three Plenary meeting and M100 East-West Media Bridge conference. These activities aim to improve the Scholars' skills base for their future careers, provide them with insights into different fields and further build their networks.
