SUPPORTING GREENPEACE

Greenpeace is a movement of people passionate about achieving their vision of a greener, healthier planet. By lobbying, campaigning, and educating the public, Greenpeace helps enact real change on a global scale.

Jamma fully agrees with Greenpeace's mission to promote change that will create a healthier planet for future generations. Last month, we started supporting Greenpeace’s ‘Protect the Oceans’ campaign, which is dedicated to addressing the significant threats facing our oceans, including climate change, overfishing, plastic pollution, and mining.

The Global Ocean Treaty, currently in negotiation at the United Nations, has the potential to create ocean sanctuaries that will protect at least 30% of our seas by 2030. Greenpeace is helping to bolster the positions of world leaders championing for the Global Ocean Treaty, as well as engaging potential new champions. A global network of ocean sanctuaries is a crucial step in protecting large parts of the ocean from destructive industries, especially in largely unregulated international waters.

Jamma International fully supports this project in collaboration with the University of Oxford, Cornell University, and WWF Germany. The focus of this project is primarily on conservation areas in sub-Saharan Africa. The project is meant to crucially enable the inclusion of rural Africans, to better inform conservation and development policies in sub-Saharan Africa and internationally.

The London Interdisciplinary
School's 2020 Summary

LIS IN 2020

The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS) reflects on how they adapted to Covid-19 in 2020, and how they are entering 2021 strongly.

By taking advantage of the school's nimble and resilient structure, LIS was able to adapt to 2020's numerous challenges. With their own degree awarding powers for the first undergraduate course of 100 students, LIS has secured a world-class teaching faculty and created a new curriculum focused on solving the problems of today. LIS has also been able to reach 4,483 students through digital and physical school visits, webinars, Discover Days, and mentoring which are being logged on their new digital platform called the Learning Hub. 

To see more information on the great work LIS is achieving, and to keep informed on what's expected in 2021, please click here.

This years theme is anxiety. Anxiety is a common mental health challenge affecting countless individuals. It can manifest in various ways, from persistent worry and excessive fear to physical symptoms like racing heart and shortness of breath. At Jamma we believe it is essential to recognise that anxiety is not a weakness or something that can be easily brushed off. By raising awareness about anxiety, we can help reduce stigma and create a supportive environment where those affected feel comfortable seeking help and support.
