Celebrating Learning Community: the transformative potential of partnership working in a time of uncertainty

In a time of political and financial uncertainty for higher education one constant continues to thrive - the integrity of the learning community. Learning communities are made up of those invested in our success, and include: students and academic, related and professional service staff; regional, national and international schools, colleges, charities, businesses and employers; and of course, the cities in which our institutions reside.

Working with our community, in partnership, calls for radical openness to different ways of knowing and doing, and may mean rethinking our practice to achieve our common goal – student and community success.

Sessions will present practical wisdom others can learn from and/or adopt, be scholarship of teaching and learning-led, and have been selected based on evident success or lessons learned from the initiative described. Full programme.

Offered over three days - 29 June to 1 July - our free, fully online conference offers you:

Relationships, communities, fractures, divisions: Navigating the barriers to partnership working, a keynote ‘in conversation with’ Brendan Stone, Professor of Social Engagement and the Humanities, University of Sheffield
