Social responsibility, civic engagement and public engagement: open sessions for staff

Making a difference: social responsibility

Following the keen interest of colleagues in our social responsibility open sessions for staff during 2022/23 we are now offering a new series of sessions covering all aspects of social responsibility, civic engagement and public engagement. These sessions are open to all staff.

Over the next 18 months we will be running a series of open sessions where you will be able to gain a greater understanding of all aspects of social responsibility, civic engagement and public engagement at the University. During the sessions you will hear how our social responsibility and civic engagement strategy results in real actions and impact and see how we are making a difference regionally, nationally and internationally.  

Starting with an Introduction to Social Responsibility and Civic Engagement session on Wednesday, 22 November, we will then run a further ten sessions, with each one focused on one of our strategic priorities or public engagement. 

Sessions will cover: 

Participants can attend as many or as few sessions as they wish.

Who should attend? 

These sessions are aimed at all staff and students who are interested in how our University is making a positive difference to society and the environment through our social responsibility, civic engagement and public engagement activities.  

The content will be useful to anyone who wishes to find out more about the impact of our social responsibility, civic engagement and public engagement activities; make connections to key programmes and people behind their delivery; and engage with our plans for the future.  

Chaired by senior leaders and delivered by guest speakers, the sessions will be delivered from the perspective of managers and beneficiaries to provide real-life examples of our impact. Each session will provide time for questions, audience perspective and feedback.  

Each session will last approximately 45 minutes.
