Acknowledgements

We’d like to thank all who generously gave their time, energy and ideas to help create this vision and strategy for public and cultural engagement at the University Â鶹¾«Ñ¡. The process has been very much in-keeping with the spirit of the strategy – we’ve plugged into communities inside and outside the University and prioritised listening, exploration, engagement and co-creation. In all, over 350 students, partners and members of staff have played their part.

Our intention has always been that this community-created vision should plug back into the University and out into the wider world, bringing stimulation and direction and helping to coordinate activity across all our public and cultural engagement activity. We encourage people to embrace this strategy as a starting point and as a template for new ideas and to use it to build multiple bridges between the University and the outside world.
