Engagement at AV´óƽ̨provides support through a range of initiatives that make a positive impact. Our projects are delivered through student learning and experience, through research and engagement and through supporting projects collaboratively within DMU, the local community and beyond.
We focus on social challenges that affect our local communities and provide routes into global learning and the sharing of ideas.
Whether it's community clean-up, supporting food banks or connecting your research with the community, we can match you to the right opportunity, helping you to develop your skills and gain valuable experience and insight.
We are also looking to increase the ways our students can learn and share their knowledge and skills. Through applied learning, we can help to embed practical learning into your modules and support student attainment.
The Community Challenge Fund is our flagship programme for community partners. We run two rounds of funding every academic year, with applications opening in August and October. We can award grants to support projects which benefit the community in Leicester, and provide opportunities for student engagement through volunteering and real-life-learning.
