Ucp Psychosocial Studies

"I am a third year student completing my degree in Psychosocial Studies and am doing some research into how choices affect our self identity as part of my dissertation. If you could complete the questionnaire it would help me to pull together research to help develop my research and understand how we think and feel about choices. It should only take you about 10 minutes and is completely anonymous. Thank you Kate"

University Centre Peterborough’s BA (Hons) Performing Arts present Mudlarks by Vickie Donoghue
On the muddy banks of the Thames, downstream from the bright lights of London, three boys hide from the police after a night of recklessness. As morning dawns, their options diminish and just two questions remain: do they have the power to determine their own fates, or are they destined to sink into the mud?
“Things don’t always have to be the same, Wayne. Things can change. You don...’t have to sit in the back watching forever. One day. You can drive.”
Mudlarks was originally produced for the sixth HighTide Festival in 2012 before transferring to Theatre503 later that year.
“An exhilarating three hander… played with real vigour and subtlety… with a sense of place so distinct that you can almost smell the eggy stench rising from the mud”, Lyn Gardner, 2012.
Dates: 12th December at PRC Room 48 13th December at Key Theatre Studio
Time: 19:00
Price: £10.00 / £5.00 (conc.)
Tickets Available: https://vivacity.org/theatre/see-a-show/ gabe.manthorp@peterborough.ac.uk
*PLEASE NOTE*: Tickets for the Friday showing also grant free entry into PRC’s Level 3 Performing Arts Showcase from 17:00-18:00

Level 5 Psychosocial and Sociology students ‘speed dating’ activity for Postmodernism lecture for Knowledge and belief module

Psychosocial and Sociology alumni! You might be interested in this! Open to the public.
In response to a growing appetite for CITIZENS organisations outside London, the growth of broad-based community organising in cities from Milton Keynes, to Leicester, Nottingham, Manchester and Tyne and Wear, a new group of leaders in Peterborough would like to explore creating a Citizens Organisation in this city.
What is a Citizens organisation?... Citizens UK is the national home of community organising. It helps people to build diverse alliances of local civil society organisations – churches and other faith groups, schools, charities, residents’ associations, colleges, unions etc – and then trains their members to be more effective community leaders, working together for social justice and the common good. It asserts that the biggest cause of injustice is the lack of power of civil society. These diverse alliances are able to harness their collective power to create accountable and respectful relationships with the state and the market and transform their communities for the common good. Citizens organisations elsewhere in the UK have won campaigns for the Living Wage, to improve the lives of refugees, help young people into work, build new genuinely affordable homes and make the streets safer – but each local alliance chooses its own issues. https://www.citizensuk.org/
The launch event:- October 28th 2019 6pm – 7.30pm Lecture Theatre, the University Centre Peterborough, Park Crescent, Peterborough, PE1 4DZ
