ATTENTION Community Partners:

Have you experience of working in partnership with universities to tackle issues of social inequality?

Are you interested in exploring how deeper community partner input might improve how these partnerships work?  If so, the first UK Community Partner Summit, Bristol, 25th & 26th June 2012, is for you.

We've recently heard that our bid to the Arts and Humanities Research Council to explore the possibility of a UK Community Partner Network has been successful. Led by a small team of community partners and academics, the project has a year to ‘test the waters’ and find out if a network would be worth establishing. We want to tap into community partner expertise and identify solutions to some of the complex issues partnership working involves. The first day of the Summit will be for 20 selected community partners to meet to consider the issues while on the second day, we plan to liaise with active academics to mull over how to influence Higher Education policy and practice (so we’re looking for up to 10 academics to get involved too). Together we could even produce some resources to help build capacity and sustain this work into the future. If you think you might like to attend, please register your interest with Lisa  now -  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
