Our Partnership
• Aspiration of a young child to see the University• Email to the Vice Chancellor of the University of its responsibility and
prospects • Meeting with the Directors at the University• Community Centre prospects• Students’ Union – Green Issues and DegreePlus• Adoption of the Big Local area for 4 Course Modules- 3rd year Landscape Architecture students (Design & Community Module)- 3rd year Geography students (Global Futures Module)- 3rd year Youth Work students (Management of Settings Module)- 3rd year Sociology students (Power in the Modern World)
Progress: Landscape Architecture
● Produced imaginative Group Character Maps of the area for their first assignment
● This required local research & work with the Big Local community to collect their views on the area
● They are now working on Group Action Plans as part of their second assignment
Progress: Geography Module
● Looked at the green spaces in the area ● Decided to focus on the River Chelt● Asked the Community their views on the river and
the surrounding area, along with doing chemical tests
● Produced a poster with details of recommendations, views and river survey results.
Progress: Youth Work
● Looked at all the community assets, services and settings of the BL area
● Undertook an assignment with recommendations on future improvements to the area
Progress: Sociology
● Walked around the Big Local area● Looked at the assets of the area● Will be looking at how much of a say the local
community has in the modern world● The area is being used as a case study for the
students
Prospects
• We hope to work with the University over the next ten years and beyond
• DegreePlus Student Interns and Student Volunteers• We aim to get more courses involved i.e. History, Fine
Arts & Sports• 15% of the Big Local Area consists of Students• Community and Sports Centre• Green Initiatives
Example: Landscape Architecture
• We aim to provide our students with an understanding & some real-life experience of community design & engagement,
• The new 3rd Year module required a ‘proper’ local community with real issues & aspirations to build on previous modules,
• We needed somewhere to work meaningfully & intensively over two semesters,
• We needed a partnership that would ensure exchange, enrichment & authenticity,
• We needed deep connection with local issues & local people that created and responded to a real project with a real brief.
Here are a few pictures of our partnership so far...

L&A Walkabout
Each time a new course got involved
with the BL they were given a ‘tour’
of the area.
This picture is from the LA walkabout
with Dan.

Community Café (1)
L&A students visited the café to talk to residents
about their feelings on the area.
It was also a chance for
residents to tell stories of their past, and how the area has changed over
time.
