The College hosts eminent authors from around the world to discuss notable literary works emerging from various countries. Recently we hosted noted Indian journalist Abhigyan Prakash and organised a conversation on his book ‘From Lucknow To Lutyens: The Power & Plight of Uttar Pradesh.’
This initiative has been promoted in partnerships with the Prabha Khaitan Foundation and the British Council. The events under this initiative aim to encourage equality and diversity as well as women’s empowerment and livelihood opportunities.
As destruction worsens in Ukraine, leaving behind everything, Ukrainian people are migrating to foreign lands. Communication might be a significant obstacle to restarting a life from scratch as the majority of the migrated people do not know foreign languages, especially English.
To help them resettle, we have decided to do what we are best at – Educating. Providing Ukraine war victims with free English courses is our latest CSR initiative. The 12 weeks course, free for anybody from the war zone.
Staff and students of Oxford Business College have been working together to raise funds for the Team Mum Campaign of Child.org.
The initiative supports new mothers by giving them the health information and assistance to keep themselves and their babies safe.
Under this programme our students work at school clubs, local nurseries, and local primary schools. The students provide classroom assistance as they read with pupils, participate in lunchtime play, and extend one-to-one mentoring.
Apart from giving back to the community, the programme helps our students absorb lessons on empathy. The satisfaction of having helped others, in turn, promotes our students’ mental well being.
This initiative provides free English classes to students who experience a barrier in accessing Higher Education. The project particularly pays attention to the students from first, and second-generation immigrant households, allowing them to pursue their chosen careers with confidence. The focus area of the programme includes:

The College contributed to the campaign to reduce single-use plastic water bottles by distributing more than 25,000 recycled water flasks to people attending Oxford’s Cowley Road Carnival in 2019. In addition, we encouraged the attendees to take their water bottles home and reuse them.
This initiative created awareness of the perils of single-use plastic and helped cut down on the litter that often follows large gatherings.
We partnered at Christmas with several local restaurants in Oxford to provide people without homes with Christmas dinner and gifts. Employees at the restaurants also encouraged their customers to donate blankets, gloves and jackets as festive gifts to those in need.
The campaign received enormous support, with restaurants staying open between midday and 5 pm for a free Christmas dinner consisting of a starter, roast turkey and pudding.
We have been associated with The Nurture Project, an innovative pilot scheme launched by Oxfordshire Council. The project was designed to assist infant school pupils with their early academic growth and development. OBC students employed varied strategies to further these objectives.
While we worked on helping individuals and groups with language development through supported reading, we promoted numeracy skills through board games and social skills were fostered through play.
