The mission of the John Smith Centre is to promote the positive case for politics and public service. We do this in three key ways: Research, Advocacy and Events, and Development Programmes.
Creating hands-on learning opportunities for students to engage in frontline public service roles and a platform from which they can examine the role of public servants and elected representatives today.
A personal and professional development programme for young people between 18-29 from minority ethnic backgrounds aimed to remove barriers that can be faced when moving into leadership positions in society.
This year we’re going to take a closer look at the experiences of many women in public life with our Centre Director chatting to Ali Goldsworthy, Claire Hanna MP and Lisa Nandy MP.
