WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? THE NATURE OF CITIZENSHIP AND IDENTITY.
5 December 2007 - University of Nottingham
A discussion group was held on Wednesday 5 December 2007 where participants debated their ideas regarding identity and citizenship.
The aim of the event was to broaden horizons and to develop understanding, both of other people’s perceptions, and one’s own.
There was no real design or structure to the session, it began with a few questions and developed into free flowing debate
that lasted almost two hours. The participants were both undergraduate and postgraduate, from different educational backgrounds and comprised of
many different nationalities, which served to provide a welcome diversity that led to interactive and challenging discussion.
