Embercombe provides transformative
programmes and courses for university students and young adults from
less advantaged backgrounds, as well as for student and staff groups,
departments and entire Universities.
The higher
education programmes for students are designed to complement and enrich
the learning experience. They focus on aspects of education that can
rarely be addressed in a typical university setting - aspects that are
essential for navigating a world of social, economic and environmental
challenges with the potential for a more just and sustainable future.
As long-established people
and organisation development consultants, we also work with departments,
universities, student and staff groups who want to instigate change
initiatives to address some of the pressing issues of our time, build
strong and resilient teams, and define their direction they wish to
take.
For
individuals...
The
Catalyst Programme
A five-day residential
programme for university students and young adults who are concerned
about social or environmental issues and want to use their unique
gifts, talents and skills to make a difference. Catalyst is open
to individuals and groups from around the world, running twice
a year (click here for details).
Do
it! I promise you it will be one of the best and most important
things you will ever take part in.”

For groups, departments and Universities...
Crossroads
‘Crossroads’
is an intensive weekend designed for students of business related
post-graduate degrees, such as MBAs, Sustainable Development,
Management, Leadership, and Social Entrepreneurship. It provides
space for reflection, replenishment, and the context in which
to explore your values and direction: How can you pursue a path
of authentic leadership, meaning and purpose and contribute meaningfully
during these critical times of change? Crossroads can be booked
by a department or student group. (click

"This
weekend filled a gap for me. MBA/University programmes are so
busy that there is very little time to think through the bigger
questions of why you are there and where you want to go.”
Jessica Lax, Said
Business School, Oxford University, 2009 |
