Developing Community University Partnerships Course 2017, University of Brighton. ** early bird reduction if you book before 15th January**

The University of Brighton’s Community University Partnership Programme (Cupp) has been involved in brokering and developing partnerships with their local communities for the past eleven years. These partnerships are concerned with the exchange of knowledge and prioritise those that tackle disadvantage.

The Cupp programme’s work involves building links between local community groups and academics, students and support staff.

The programme is concerned with mutual working between universities and communities, identifying ways in which study and research might link to current issues of local, national and global concern. This includes:

• How knowledge is created
• Dissemination of knowledge
• Different forms of knowledge
• Skills of knowledge brokering
• Knowledge exchange

This course provides an opportunity for those wanting to take forward their own community engagement work. This could involve:

• Reviewing an institution’s vision and mission
• Restructuring disciplinary relationships
• New approaches to the ways in which knowledge is generated and transmitted

Through a detailed study of the Cupp approach, alongside other relevant models and strategies, we will support participants to develop something bespoke that fits the needs of their own locality.
