I’ve been following the pathways through participation project and note some interesting and relevant findings from the case study in Leeds in particular around University – Community relationships.

I just wanted to note that these findings are of interest, and I look forward to future publications, or any relevant data/resources that you share on the topic.

The National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement have been working using an Action Research approach to explore the unique characteristics of higher education institutions (HEIs) and the culture change needed to embed public engagement in them. One of the themes arising from this work is the impact of space and place on the way universities and communities interact with each other.
