growth and enjoyment4. Trust relationships 5. Communication and discourse6. A sense of belonging and community7. Supportive social networks8. Opportunities for, and participation in activities and roles
– to enable ownership, self-assurance and self-efficacy
Influences on engagement
Is a good thing in its own right (e.g. ethical and democratic)
Sharing control and responsibility between staff and students
Easy to do outside the curriculum So how do we co-own the curriculum?
The value of partnership
Co-created by students – wanted a way to explore interdisplinary nature of degree and create projects authentic to professional life
Truly independent and student led - reflected in assessment
Creates space in curriculum to be completely independent and gives students confidence to take risks
Diverse and innovative projects Students engage with subjects they're passionate
about with outstanding outcomes

Graduate Development Modules
Student working group on SSC designed the module
Opportunity to gain academic credit for roles in CH community – about 50% take part in module
Perfect vehicle for individuals to maximise the personal benefits from their roles
Partnership – allows for co-ownership of modules Students feel confident to take on ambitious
projects that benefit wider CH community
Initially chose module as a way to have more time to take on multiple roles – PASS and the SSC
Meant that they were a priority and not secondary to academic work – focus on self-reflection and goal setting means roles are a much more conscious undertaking
Not just ‘going through the motions’ Project – curriculum design
Opportunity to leave a legacy, create real change, and hopefully inspire other students to do the same
Jenni’s Journey
Personal motivation and interest in civic engagement related to career aspirations
Qualitative research: What kind of partnership? Has this changed them? How civically engaged are the students? Causal relationship between partnership and civic
engagement? Partnership as a microcosm of civic engagement and
a transformative catalyst Mixed results – partnership is a work in progress
An Investigation into the Impact of Partnership on Civic Engagement
