Join us as we launch our Working with Community Partners toolkit, supporting you to engage community partners within your in-curricular and extracurricular opportunities for students.
Student Hubs works in partnership with UK universities to deliver student social action programmes which are place-based and engage local communities, fostering students’ ‘skills for life’ to ensure they leave university with the key competencies to be active citizens. Our ‘skills for life’ for students and graduates encompasses leadership, communication, teamwork, resilience, confidence and belonging, as well as our programmes enhancing students’ university experience, wellbeing, and engagement with their university course.
About our toolkit launch and webinar
In June 2024, Student Hubs announced our closure planned for January 2025. As part of this closure, we are delivering a range of virtual events, webinars and toolkits to celebrate our work and uphold the legacy we leave as an organisation, providing students, university staff and third sector organisations with the tools they need to deliver high quality student social action, civic engagement, and strong people and culture culture.
Our Working with Community Partners toolkit and webinar launch on 11 December from 1-2:30pm aims to share our expertise in recruiting, fostering and empowering community partners to engage and work in partnership with university students and staff, particularly in delivering social action, civic engagement, peer-to-peer and community programmes or as part of teaching and learning activities.
Key reasons to sign up to attend our virtual event include:
- To learn more about the power of engaging community partners. Creating meaningful programmes which support outcomes for both communities and students has been at the heart of our theory of change since 2015, and we believe it should be a vital part of students’ educational experience – we want to show you why in this session.
- To hear about the impact of this work. We want to bring to life the impact high quality community partnership can have on students, universities and communities through our case studies, impact and toolkit recommendations.
- To support your university strategy. This event is designed for the higher education sector to support you to embed community partnership, student social action, student leadership, and civic engagement within your work. Join us to hear what is possible, what works, and more about our legacy work.
