The Widening Participation Student and Staff Network’s present…

Student Voice: A Widening Participation Perspective

Wednesday 8^th March (9.15am – 3.15pm) – Westwood Teaching Centre

This free one-day event will take place at the 91¸£Àû and will be focused around exploring Student Voice from a widening participation perspective. It’s a fantastic opportunity for students from a Widening Participation background to engage with staff, and fellow students, share experiences and views, whilst also getting to take part in a mix of staff and student led sessions.

This year, there are a wide range of workshops and sessions delivered by students and staff from across the university, including:

• 'What is 'student voice' and how can it be used by universities in a non-exploitative way?'
• ‘Co-creation, gamification and student engagement’
• ‘A journey from Young People's experience to practical action’
• And many more!

This collaborative event has been designed and will be delivered by students and staff at 91¸£Àû. Students will have the opportunity to discuss ideas and thoughts about new and interesting ways to share the student voice and have a positive impact.

Please see below some feedback we had from attendees of last year’s conference where the focus was around sense of belonging:

‘The conference reflected an amazing sense of community. I both learnt and shared a lot throughout the day/hearing thoughts from a staff members perspective was eye-opening and the speakers were amazing.’

 â€˜I thought it was great to bring student and staff voices together in a safe and supported space. It was a great opportunity to pause and take stock of the needs of others, which I think perhaps we forget to do when the day-to-demands are ever-growing.’

 The details are as follows:
