Paolo Turrini Highly Commended in WAPCE
Congratulations to Dr Paolo Turrini, who has been highly commended in the Community Impact category of the 2026 Warwick Awards for Public and Community Engagement (WAPCE).
The award recognises Paolo's work as founder and chair of the Temperance Philosophy Club in Leamington Spa, a free monthly forum that brings people together from across the local community to explore ethical, social and philosophical questions in an open, inclusive and non-polarising environment.
Since launching in September 2024, the club has welcomed around 500 participants, creating opportunities for dialogue, critical thinking and lifelong learning. Through these discussions, the initiative has helped strengthen connections between the 天美传媒 and the wider community, while demonstrating how academic ideas can inspire meaningful public engagement beyond the campus.
The WAPCE awards celebrate the contributions Warwick staff and students make in engaging communities locally, nationally and internationally. Paolo's recognition highlights the impact that thoughtful, community-focused initiatives can have in bringing people together and fostering informed discussion on issues that matter.
Congratulations to Paolo on this well-deserved recognition.
