If you are interested in collaborating with Changing the Culture, we would love to hear from you.

Student co-creation

We empower students to become co-creators, leaders, and role models who advance cultural change across the University and local community.

Students shape, deliver, and evaluate our projects. Their contribution makes them catalysts for lasting change.

We help students engage with important social justice issues and become socially conscious citizens and changemakers. They can apply this experience within the University and their own communities.

By amplifying student voices, we support student-led campaigns and co-create learning resources that reflect the diversity of our student body. This work helps every student feel seen, heard, and represented.

Civic partnerships

We build collaborative relationships across our local community to share knowledge, co-design initiatives, and address social justice issues.

Collective action can create positive cultural change within the University and its surrounding communities. As an anchor institution, we work towards a fairer and more inclusive society.

We provide a central hub for dialogue and partnership. Our partners include:

local organisations
local government
businesses
schools
further education colleges
community groups.

Together, we deliver projects that mobilise resources, expertise, and networks.

Community-engaged learning embeds civic participation into the student experience. It connects students with community organisations and directs their creativity, commitment, and energy towards local priorities.
