During the COVID-19 pandemic, The Bartlett’s staff and students, together with our international partners, have developed innovative ways to continue with, and start new partnerships with equivalence despite the multiple challenges faced.
To capture these practices, The Bartlett Vice-Dean International Professor Adriana Allen led an initiative called ‘Engaging internationally beyond the lockdown: practicing partnerships with equivalence across The Bartlett, UCL’. Through a video series, this initiative showcases powerful stories and experiences from different parts of the faculty that talk to the above objectives under creative ways of remote engagement.
