Hello! My name is Dr Ann-Marie Mealey , Ethicist and Director of Catholic Mission at Leeds Trinity University, it is my great pleasure to launch this online lecture series at our university.

I am thrilled to have such a talented and diverse group of local, national and international experts helping us to share our mission with other universities and with the world.

Please join us as we learn and grow together in the hope of sensitizing everyone to who our neighbour really is and to help to repair the ‘shattered dreams’ of our world.

‘Education for hope’ is what this series has at its heart as it seeks to move our closed world ‘Beyond the Dark Clouds’.Proper Sport Spirituality
