A new framework for Public and Cultural Engagement

Our call to arms and bold narrative will be brought to life by a challenging new framework for public and cultural engagement. A framework designed to reimagine standard sector practice by plugging engagement directly into the heart of the university’s core work and purpose.

    Plugging engagement into the heart of our work

    Our strategy will be built around a unique cross-disciplinary platform that puts engagement front of mind and into the hands of everyone in the organisation. The idea behind the framework is to change people’s perspective about public and cultural engagement from being an add-on to a core behaviour and driver of innovation, impact and differentiation for the university. A way of working and thinking that we can all embrace, and one that will help us deliver novel and disruptive research and education, a stand-out student experience and a vibrant and welcoming campus community. By empowering and enabling more of our people to engage and ‘plug in’ their work, and by facilitating the targeted provision of expertise and support, our new framework will harness university resources and energy more efficiently, creating momentum, and the means to measure progress more accurately. At the same time, by making the act of engaging simpler and more rewarding, and by creating a network of collaboration and knowledge sharing, our framework will also stimulate new and newsworthy engagement ideas from across the organisation.

    Better by design

    The new framework will help to connect the engagement work we already do across the different parts of the university – student experience, research engagement, community engagement and our campus – to create more coordinated impact, better use of resources and shared learning.

    Unlocking the new

    By making engagement insight, data and materials more accessible and easier to use across the framework, we’ll stimulate, encourage and support new kinds of engagement ideas and help ensure they come to life and create impact.
