The Social Inclusion Unit is pleased to announce the successful applicants for the Widening Participation Grants 2011. Grants were awarded in three categories:
Community Engagement Grants for social inclusion partnerships These grants support faculties or divisions to engage in partnership activities with schools or communities aimed at widening participation.
Inclusive Curriculum Renewal Grants These grants support implementation and integration of inclusive teaching strategies into curricula and teaching, especially in first-year units.
Research on inclusion/exclusion These grants support research of three types: research on inclusion that relates to pathways to higher education, research on inclusion that relates to higher education teaching and curriculum, and evaluation research on widening participation strategies.
All Widening Participation Grants applicants have received an invitation to join the Widening Participation Network. The Network provides support for the professional development and collaborative learning of the project teams, and supports the development and implementation of Widening Participation projects.
All interested staff from the University are welcome to become members of the Widening Participation Network. For information about meetings and agendas please contact Mary Teague by email at .
