This workshop, sponsored by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and BU’s Business School, aims to explore the lessons learnt from facilitating action-learning through real-life Business Community projects and equip participants with the skills to confidently plan and manage projects of their own.
Action-learning and experiential project management, exploited through real-life community projects, can substantially underpin the development of management competencies in undergraduate students whilst fostering their personal and professional development. Cross-discipline projects not only benefit the students involved but also the local community, as well as the University’s status within the wider community and cross-collaboration across internal departments.
The workshop will be stimulating, interactive and will provide attendees with an excellent networking opportunity. It is open to academics from other HEIs.
