Study British politics at LSE and do a parliamentary internship. Even if they do spell funny over there.
Dear All,
Just a short note to let you know that the deadline for the Autumn 2007 Hansard Scholars Programme has passed and we are now accepting applications for the Spring 2008 Programme (January 12th – April 5th, 2008). Therefore, if any of your students are interested in studying British politics at the London School of Economics and doing an internship in Parliament or other prominent political organisation in January, please let me know.
Full details about the Hansard Scholars Programme can be found on our website at: www.hansardsociety.org.uk/programmes/study_programme
I am also delighted to say that the Hansard Society has appointed Fiona Booth as our new Chief Executive. Fiona is currently Director of the Hansard Society’s Citizenship Education Programme and has previously managed the education departments of several charities. She is a qualified primary and secondary school teacher, and sits on several advisory boards including the UK Government’s Department for Constitutional Affairs Education Information & Advice working group, UNESCO’s Associated Schools Project Network and the UK Youth Parliament Competition steering group. She is also trustee of the UK’s Association for Citizenship Teaching.
Fiona, who starts her new position in early May said, “the Hansard Scholars Programme is central to the Hansard Society’s core aim of promoting a greater of understanding of democratic processes. I very much look forward to working with our university colleagues in North America and Australia, and to welcoming more outstanding students onto the Programme”.
Should you need any further details on the Hansard Society or the Hansard Scholars Programme, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Best wishes,
Alex Boughton
