Screening and networking: Community-centred Learning Experiences

Join us for a screening of the launch of the film 'Community-Centred Learning Experiences', produced by the UNSW Division of Societal Impact, Equity & Engagement and featuring a recording of the enlightening discussion around the film.

UNSW Sydney has a long history of providing immersive education experiences for students, including through community-centred learning programs in disciplines such as the built environment and engineering. The University’s commitment to such initiatives is reflected in the new Societal Impact Framework.

SIEE and the Yuwaya Ngarra-li Partnership have produced a video featuring reflections and lessons from staff and students involved in community-centred learning initiatives on what it takes to ensure such initiatives are genuinely collaborative and impactful. The video features:

• Professor Greg Leslie (Director of the Global Water Institute, Faculty of Engineering), Eva Lloyd (Senior Lecturer in the School of Built Environment, Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture) and Samantha Rich (Housing Project Manager, Yuwaya Ngarra-li Partnership—and UNSW MArch Graduate, where she completed a community-centred WIL project)

• Community members and students involved in programs in Walgett, Bourke, and the Chen Dan Daek neighbourhood in Phnom Penh, Cambodia).

This will be followed by networking and refreshments.
