Chevening scholars
Chevening is the UK Government's international awards scheme funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations.
They offer two types of award - Chevening Scholarships and Chevening fellowships - giving the opportunity for future leaders and influencers from all over the world to develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK.
In April 2018 the University of Sheffield hosted the Chevening workshop with the Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures. We invited all the Chevening Scholars in the UK to attend sessions on what sustainability means and how it can be applied in everyday life.
My favourite thing about Sheffield is the greenery and the lovely people who live here. I have met so many new people and learnt about many new cultures.
