Crucible is a centre of excellence in education in human rights, social justice and citizenship, supported by the Higher Education Funding Council. It is one of 74 Centres of Teaching and Learning Excellence (CETLs) funded by the Higher Education Funding Council of England. We work in partnership with universities, and with third sector, public sector and business organisations. We develop programmes of learning and resource development in human rights, citizenship and social justice. We organise placements to enhance the student experience. We are housed in the Duchesne Building (pictured right), a state-of-the-art teaching and learning facility at Roehampton University.
