An international networking project
 

International Partners

Bengaluru and Liverpool are well matched. Both cities are historically distant from the centres of power and decision making, in Delhi and London. Both are cosmopolitan cities that have played host to waves of migrants, leaving communities with distinctive cultural identities. Within these cities, both Christ University and Liverpool Hope have maintained a service-centered ethos (The Service and Leadership Program at Hope and Global Hope; the Centre for Social Action at Christ) and both have been important centres for teacher training.
