There are several exciting events coming up for NERUPI members and some from our partners, plus a set of updated resources that will be particularly helpful to those involved in Wave 2 APPs.
BEYOND DECOLONISATION: TRANSFORMING UNIVERSITY CULTURE & CURRICULUM BOOK HERE 21 May in-person
This event will be ideal for those wanting to find out more about Decolonisation as well as for those wanting to explore the area further. The conference arose from discussions within the NERUPI Student and Staff Race and Ethnic Equity (SsREE) working group about the unexplained degree awarding gap between different ethnic groups. It became clear that a transformative approach was required, focussing on innovative practice that fosters cultural shifts towards a more inclusive ethos.
The speakers are all working on engaging sessions that give participants the time and space to explore this important area and include Gurnam Singh, University of Warwick, Deborah Husbands, University of Westminster, Constantino Dumangane Jr, University of York, Syra Shakir, Leeds Trinity University, Dave S. P Thomas, Solent University amongst many others.
London South Bank University has kindly provided conference space enabling NERUPI to offer this as a free, in-person event for NERUPI members. Not sure if you are a member? If your organisation subscribes then you are automatically a member. Click HERE to check and find out more.
NEW NERUPI RESOURCES ACCESS HERE
Following our event on March 11th NERUPI members can now access a set of revised materials to support APP planning and evaluation including the presentation from Heather Bowyer, Senior Officer at the OfS, who set out APP requirements and reflected on lessons learnt from WAVE 1 submissions and answered questions from participants.
PEER EVALUATION COURSE – taking expressions of interest CLICK HERE
I am pleased to say that, following our successful QAA funded pilot last year, NERUPI is able to offer the Peer Evaluation Course more widely. Designed for colleagues with some experience of evaluation the course provides opportunities to share and build expertise in different evaluation approaches and methods. The course combines collaborative learning with a process of Peer Review and will include: an initial, full day, in-person workshop in London; four online sessions; a two-day residential in Bath; conducting and receiving a Peer Review; a final, full day, in-person workshop in London.
The Role of Student Ambassadors in Collaborative Outreach Work, 4 July 2024 University of Suffolk
University student ambassadors play a significant role in supporting the outreach activity of Higher Education (HE) systems in the UK and internationally. This event considers the ways in which ambassadors are working with schools and will include presentations on research evidence and practice from the UK and other international settings. Exploring the rich potential of collaboration and co-construction will be a focus of the day. Widening participation practitioners, student ambassadors, teachers, teacher trainers, trainee teachers, careers advisors and representatives from other organisations are all welcome to attend.
