Lecturer, School for Policy Studies
Francisco’s content and teaching on Grass-root organisations and the importance of supporting them within our local communities inspired me to volunteer at the Julian Trust night shelter! His passion for supporting such organisations inspires me and made me more aware of ones more local.
The participatory activities in classes encouraged us to participate even when most of us are not native English speakers and many times we have problems expressing ourselves. Also the fact that he positioned himself as non-native English inspires us to participate despite language barriers.
The seminars especially are a very safe and inclusive place where anyone is free to share and contribute without worry of being wrong or alienated, this makes for enjoyable and useful discussions that are greatly helpful for my learning, especially assessments.
Francisco sends a lot of interesting articles and uses real life examples to explain the theory. He also adds links at the bottom of his slides in case we would like to learn more about a certain case study, which encourages curiosity and allows us to explore what interests us
