Promoting Student-Community Engagement and Reciprocal Learning: Examination of a Partnership Project
F. Power & L. Lewis

Abstract

This presentation will provide a critique of an ongoing collaboration between the anchor institutions of Bolton, England. Future Furnishings is a partnership project that seeks to develop a model for reciprocal learning; engaging students from the Textiles and Surface Design degree programme at the University of Bolton and local residents in a collaborative live brief. The project is designed to capture a real-world design studio environment, through a process of collaboration and co-design students work with local community members through a knowledge exchange framework and reciprocal learning experience. This provides an invaluable opportunity to mix traditional academic experience with community engaged practice, and consider the wider social value of the creative industries. At the core of this research project is the drive to expand the classroom into communities, breaking away from the traditional academic space, reflecting on, and responding to diverse communities, developing a cyclical educational experience. This project involves staff and students working in and with local residents and connected charities and agencies. Co-designers (local residents) come from diverse backgrounds and with wide ranging educational and academic experiences. This project offers opportunities for upskilling, outreach, and a sharing of knowledge and skills, developing confidence and agency. As part of the project students are exposed to, and encouraged to navigate the working world, whilst at the same time negotiating their own learning experience as part of a co-design team; developing key skills required in industry whilst also gaining an insight into an alternative, socially engaged practice.
