This seminar will introduce participants to the work of the award winning Community University Partnership Programme (CUPP) at the University of Brighton. CUPP’s university staff, students and local communities develop real solutions to real problems, using University resources to tackle disadvantage and promote sustainable development. It draws on academic and student expertise across the University to create long-term partnerships between Brighton and Sussex universities and community/voluntary/social enterprise/public sector organisations.
Lessons learned by CUPP will be explored, and the seminar will consider how to create long term institutional change in relation to community university partnership working.
